Harold Ellison: Indiana Mandolin Player

Here is a video I produced about Harold Ellison...or "Ace" as his friends call him. I had a great afternoon talking with him. He showed me the old Modle T in his garge and showed me lots of pictures of airplanes and motorcyles that he use to drive. Anyway, mostly we talked about his mandolin playing and his music. I just wanted to share this video with anyone that might enjoy it. All the best,
Jon Kay

In the Beginning

I have created this blog to record and organize my fieldnotes about traditional arts, communities and interesting folks that I find as I conduct fieldwork throughout Indiana. I am the director of Indiana's folk and traditional arts program--Traditional Arts Indiana.
