Classic bluegrass filmed in 1964 by David Hoffman with his new 49 pound 16 mm hand-held camera.  He spent three weeks driving the Madison County, North Carolina back-country in the heart of Appalachia, accompanied by 82 year old Bascom Lamar Lunsford, founder of the Asheville Mountain Music and Dance Festival.  His film, Bluegrass Roots, was shown on public television the following year.
