His name was James Clarence Hay.
And [C#m] he was from eastern Kentucky, and he played banjo and fiddle and [Am] guitar and things like [D] that.
And [F] as a teenager, I was [D] very much drawn to him and that [F] music.
And for me, [D#] it was a [Em] chance to find something deeper than the average sort of American fast food
kind of strip mall situation that a lot of people are raised in.
And I realized I had that [A] _ [B] connection to the music that was [E] just handed down just [A] as a gift, you know.
