Old-Time TOTW

Old-Time TOTW #390 is Oak Ridge Stomp from the playing of Nile Benard Wilson (6 August 1912--21 March 2008) of Linn County, MO. He was the son of William Randolph "Dolph" Wilson (1879-1947) and Olivia V. "Ollie" Davis (1879-1956). He married Effie Eleanor Gillespie (1916-1995) on 29 April 1935. Wilson's ancestors settled in Tennessee and Indiana and were in Missouri by 1850. (source for above: public documents and Ancestry) Wilson was surrounded by music growing up and began playing the fiddle at the age of five. He learned from his father, Dolph, who was an excellent musician. Dolph was well known for his fiddling skills and won contests in the 1920s and 1930s. He also played live on radio programs on WOS broadcast from the dome of the Missouri Capitol in Jeff City. Nile’s brother, Orley, uncle Lester Wilson, great uncle Charlie, as well as his father and many other neighbors and friends played fiddle. (Source: liner notes to "Now That's a Good Tune" CD) He also played guitar and backed up his father for dances and radio show broadcasts during the 1920s. Nile won the first fiddle contest he entered in LaPlata in 1932. In later years, he became a respected contest judge. He also did some fiddle repair and setups. From Nile's obituary: "Nile worked in construction, building and resurfacing highways and was a heavy equipment operator and mechanic. He was a foreman for Land Construction of St Joseph for 20 years. He was also a carpenter and woodworker building several homes in the Bucklin/New Boston area, and doll houses and wash stands. He was a Grand Master Fiddler doing exhibitions at Frontier Days in St. Louis, Chicago, Illinois and Seattle, Washington. He had made several CD's and one with other fiddlers which was nominated for a Grammy Award. He was a member of the Hoisting Engineers Union 513 for over 30 years, Bucklin Christian Church, and a New Boston/ Bucklin resident all of his life with the exception of two years he lived in Sioux Falls, S.D. Survivors include his son and daughter in law, Garry Mac and Patricia Wilson, Middletown, New York; three grandchildren, Christopher, Robin and his wife Anita, and Melissa; two great grandchildren, Chance Randolph, and Alexa Julia; many nieces, and nephews, and great nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews." The B part of Oak Ridge Stomp is similar to other tunes, one of which is Rocky Mountain Goat/Grand Hornpipe. Joining me are friends Dave Rice on fiddle (Twinsburg, OH), Marc Harris on banjo (Cincinnati, OH), and Bonny Shiplet & Mark McNulty on guitar (Columbus, OH, and Oberlin, OH, respectively).
