The Last of Callahan - Morgan Sexton
"The Last Of Callahan," as played on the banjo and sung by the inimitable Mr. Morgan Sexton of Linefork, Southeastern Kentucky.
Mr. Sexton stands out among traditional Appalachian musicians; the circumstances of his life allowed his music to develop in near isolation. While most musicians are influenced by various differing regional styles, and often incorporate these new ideas and trends into their own playing, Mr. Sexton's music is as unique and honest as it is haunting and emotive. His voice, like his style of picking, is distinctly his own.
"My cousin Press Whitaker and me," he once recalled, "we got some old lard buckets, cut the bottoms out, and fixed us some banjos.. they sounded awful.. but we played them like they were real banjos."
In 1928, when Mr. Sexton was 17 years old, he was able to order his first "real" banjo, from Sears & Roebuck.
It cost him ten dollars and eighty-six cents.
"I walked four miles out to Ulvah to pick it up... and I played it all the way back home..."
