Roy Wooliver: Fact, Folklore & Fiddle Tunes

lundi 20 juillet 2026 • Durée 08:25

How does a musician become legendary when almost everything about him disappears?

Roy Wooliver left behind no commercial recordings, only one known photograph, and a paper trail that's often more confusing than helpful. Yet his influence can still be heard through the musicians who knew him, especially Gene Goforth, who once said Roy taught him something more valuable than tunes... expression.

In this episode of Broken Bow Tapes, John P. Williams follows the trail through oral histories, field recordings, and the research of Dr. Howard Marshall to piece together the story of one of Missouri's most influential, and most elusive, old-time fiddlers.

In This Episode

Who was Roy Wooliver?
Why Gene Goforth never forgot him.
John Hartford's remarkable 1958 recordings.
Separating documented history from oral tradition.
Why Roy's influence far outlived the man himself.

Acknowledgments

This episode draws extensively from the research of Dr. Howard W. Marshall, whose lifelong work documenting Missouri's musical traditions has preserved countless stories that might otherwise have been lost. His landmark book, Keep It Old-Time: Fiddle Music in Missouri from the 1960s Folk Music Revival to the Present, published by the University of Missouri Press, was an invaluable resource in researching the life and legacy of Roy Wooliver.

If you'd like to explore Missouri's rich fiddle tradition, I highly recommend adding this and Howard's other published work to your library.

"You Should've Heard Gene."

dimanche 19 juillet 2026 • Durée 13:47

"You should've heard Gene."

For many Missouri fiddlers, Gene Goforth wasn't just another great musician. He was the standard by which others were measured. His influence reached far beyond the Ozarks through the people who learned from him, the tunes he passed along, and the recordings that preserved his remarkable style.

In this episode, we look at why Gene's name still comes up whenever Missouri fiddlers gather, and why so many musicians, including John Hartford, believed his music deserved to be remembered.

Every Tape Has a Story

samedi 18 juillet 2026 • Durée 13:45

Someone handed me a cassette with nothing more than Jump Fingers written on a piece of masking tape.

At the time, I had no idea that little cassette would send me down a rabbit hole that I'm still following today.

In this first episode of Broken Bow Tapes, I share the story of how one anonymous recording changed the way I looked at old-time music. What started as a search for fiddle tunes slowly became a search for the people, places, and stories behind them.

Introducing Broken Bow Tapes

samedi 18 juillet 2026 • Durée 02:22

Welcome to Broken Bow Tapes, a podcast about Missouri fiddling and the stories behind the music.

For years I've collected old recordings, chased down forgotten tunes, and talked with the people who kept this tradition alive. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn't just collecting tunes anymore. I was collecting stories.

In this trailer, you'll get a glimpse of what's ahead. Future episodes will explore legendary Missouri fiddlers, rare recordings, old contests, family traditions, and the moments that shaped the music we still play today.

Thanks for listening. I'm glad you're here.
