WARNER, Frank - New York\ Coll & singer 5 str fretless banjo\ 1958 - born in Alabama in 1903 and died at his home in Long Island, N.Y. in 1978. Raised in North Carolina, he attended Duke University in Durham and was president of the Glee Club and a prize- winning quartet. His interest in folk music was kindled by Dr Frank C.Brown, the noted N.C. folk collector. Folk music for Frank was his vocation, for he had a 40 year long professional career with the Young Men's Christian Association in N.C. and, prior to retirement in 1938, he was the Executive Director of the Long Island YMCA, the Long Island YMCA's in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and, before that, was with the Transportation Dept of the National Council of "The Y" in New York City. He and Anne Locher were married in New York in 1935 and they began to spend their holidays in collecting trips. They travelled from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Outer Banks and Tidewater, Virginia, and from New England to the Adirondacks. Frank's fretless 5-string banjo was made by Nathan Hicks, the drum head of which was eventually signed by 265 of his admirers, starting with Carl Sandberg in 1939 -- rec by Jac Holzman: ELEKTRA EKL-153 1958 with additional accomp by Billy FAIER - EKL-153 1959 (collector's re-issue - FTX-901 Concert rec by PK at Dartington, Totnes, Devon 1973 with sons, Jeff & Gerret (20s)/ RTR 0802-4 - Warner Coll: FTX921- FTX-928 incl - MINSTREL JD-204 1976 (S) with Jeff & Gerret - PRESTIGE INT-13012 1965 "Songs of the Civil War" (Side A: The North & Side B: The South) (21songs)
