Mance Lipscomb~An Oral History

I'm not going to focus on trying to make this a visual experience but rather I want to share a bit of oral music history.In the early 60's a Texas dentist and patron of the arts took his 10 year old son along "with a Realistic Cassette Recorder ...a fifth of whiskey... and some cigars... " to visit Mance Lipscomb in Navasota, TX. Sitting on the front porch you'll hear Doc Bowman prod Mance to explain Buck Dancing to his son, Jim. You'll hear Mance's oral history followed by a demonstration on the guitar, which just happens to be some of the finest fingerwork you'll hear. Grateful Dave, the originator of Lonestar Dead.. longest running Grateful Dead radio show in the world converted the original recording to digital. Thank you to a Dallas friend, Kelly Cutler, for sharing the music and history used for this video.

Yes! This brings back so many memories of Mance and my dad. Daddy loved Mance and we had many wonderful lessons on life from Mance. I remember the gold guitar Daddy put into Mance's false teeth, and how Mance loved to show it off.

The man prodding Mance along is my father, Dr. George Bowman, a long time dentist is Camron and Temple, TX. He had taken my brother Jim to see Mance as he was interested in playing guitar at the time. Mance wanted my brother to sing along with him and my brother told him he couldn't sing. Mance told him that if he can talk, he can sing. You just open up your mouth and let the words come out he said. I can still picture my dad doing the buck dance with one of Mance's friends as Mance played.

Is this the audio that is available at UT? A friend of mine, Glen Alyn, did a similar historical perspective on Mance and wrote a book about it.

Alright! That is a treasure man! Was that Sam Elliot "the Cowboy" talking with Mance?

The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
