I just came across this video. When I moved from England to West Virginia in 1976 I began playing with the Morris Bros. (Dave and John). They were from Ivydale WV and I would describe them as mountain musicians, though we did play a lot of bluegrass festivals.This is John playing here.

Too late, I realized the money's all in clawhammer...
