In 1976 Peter & Beryl Kennedy visited
some of the surviving families in Virginia and N Carolina who had given
songs and played for Cecil Sharp & Peter's aunt, Maud Karpeles, 60
years before - they met Florence Puckett at Afton, Nelson Co.,Va., Mr
& Mrs Jessie Sheilor at Meadows of Dan, Patrick Co., Julie Boone,
Micaville, Yancy Co., N.C. and the Sheltons at Carmen, Madison Co.- there
was plenty of talking, singing and dance-tunes on fiddle, banjo, piano
& guitar - and memories of the 1916-18 visits
