FRANCIS MARION DAVENPORT


I asked CLYDE DAVENPORT whether his grandfather played the fiddle.

"I never did hear him play, he was so old," Clyde said. "I might have heard him play a little, I don't hardly remember. But he was so old, you know, I remember when he was 90 that he was going to get his fiddle fixed up because he was going to go and play again. Him 90!"
