  Ernest Stoneman Restored Recordings
Ernest V. Stoneman, one of the pioneers of recorded old-time music, was born in Carroll County, Virginia on May 25, 1893.
He grew up in this music-rich area and in his youth was exposed to the wealth of religious music and old-time ballads of the people around him as well as the string band tradition that abounded in the mountains.
All of the recordings that Ernest made for Edison, fifty in all, were recorded in New York City between June of 1926 and November of 1928.
