    Harry Pendleton was from Patrick and later Floyd County, before moving to Danville, VA in 1945. He was my grandfather and was still alive when this recording was released in 1977 (he passed away in 1979). I believe there were multiple banjo players involved in this album, but I do know Harry Pendleton recorded on some of the songs

      I love this album,but I have a correction for you, The back of this album clearly says this is D Pearson, J.W. Spangler, and Harry Houchins on the banjo on this album! You list Harry Pendleton instead. Harry Houchins was my great, great Uncle from Patrick county and played the banjo often with Babe J.W,, Dudley, and Tump Spangler, my cousins. Please see if you can tell for sure if this is Harry Pendleton or Harry Houchins and make a correction if it is Harry Houchins as it says! Thanks PS, this album was give to me recently by the children of Dudley Spangler as a gift so I'd have a recording of my Uncle Harry's!
