From his birth in Owensboro, Kentucky, in 1947, to his 2020 album
featuring the music of Lee Hammons, Wayne Howard has lived an
exceptionally creative life. Howard seems to be eternally present
at fiddle festivals, on the margins of old-time music gatherings,
and ensconced in the circles of creative forces working to preserve
and disseminate this archaic southern mountain music. In 1969, he
relocated to West Virginia and, after being introduced to the
Hammons family by Dwight Diller, Howard befriended the family and
recorded Lee, Sherman, Burl, and Maggie Hammons playing music and
telling stories. From there, Howard carved out a place for himself
as a professional computer programmer, a vintage book collector and
seller, and woodworker before turning his attention to writing
about the Hammons family, and producing CDs from his reel-to-reel
tapes of their stories and music for the Field Recorders'
Collective. This biography follows the threads of music and
folklore through Howard's life, celebrating his profound knowledge
of the songs and songsters that does much to sustain the interest
of those who seek out Appalachian tunes, songs, and stories.
