On the cover: Jenes Cottrell (1901-1980) of Clay County was a great banjo player and talented woodworker who made everything from rolling pins to banjos crafted from Buick torque converters. A legend of West Virginia folk music, he’s shown here at the 1979 Vandalia Gathering. Photo by Rick Lee, courtesy of the West Virginia State Archives.
