Artist Portrait

Shelor Family

1927-1927 US
Country and World

From Meadows of Dan, Virginia. On 2 August 1927 they recorded for Ralph Peer at the Bristol sessions. image - from top-left clockwise: Pyrus Shelor [fiddle], his brother Jesse [fiddle, vocals] and Jesse's wife Clarice Blackard Shelor [piano, vocals], her father "Dad" Joe Blackard, [banjo, vocals] Sammy Shelor, born 10 October 1962 Meadows of Dan is a relative: his great-great grandfather Shelor married Dad Blackard's sister. A few years ago, knowing about a "Shelor Family" who recorded at the Bistrol Session, I asked Sammy Shelor about them. The most interessant thing he told me was about Clarice Shelor: "she was a big woman, and the floor shook when she played the piano".
