John Cohen recordered the banjo player from what Kentucky town?
John Cohen (musician) John Cohen (born August 2, 1932, in Queens, New York) is a founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers as well as a musicologist, photographer and filmmaker. Some of his best known images document the Abstract Expressionist scene centered on New York's Cedar Bar; gallery happenings by early performance artists; young Bob Dylan's arrival in New York; Beat Generation writers during the filming of Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie's film "Pull My Daisy"; and the "old time" musicians of Appalachia. (The title of Cohen's 1962 film, "High Lonesome Sound", has become synonymous with that music.) He has been one of the most important "discoverers" of traditional musicians and singers, finding and recording Dillard Chandler, Roscoe Holcomb, and many banjo players, most notably on the album "High Atmosphere".
Uncle Charlie Osborne Charles Nelson Osborne, (December 26, 1890 – May 27, 1992), affectionately known as Uncle Charlie," was a musician in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia.
