The Milnes Collection contains audio-visual recordings made and collected by the Augusta Heritage Center’s former Folk Arts Coordinator, Gerald Milnes. Throughout his career with Augusta, Milnes conducted field work to amass a large collection of oral histories, music, and event recordings. He recorded the bulk of the collection from the early 1970s to 2013, but the collection also includes tapes with earlier dates that others sent to him.
“Tom Jack Woods” on the 2nd side before “Ryestraw” is not a tune. Tom Jack Woods was a Webster Co fiddler who traveled around with legendary fiddler Jack McElwain. Tom Jack was 7 feet tall. The Woods were an old time family that lived on the head of Birch River. Arthur Woods was a chair maker, used a foot treadle lathe and made/used hickory inner bark for the seating.
