Hobart Smith: Stories and Songs from a Banjo Great
by Stephen Wade
NPR Morning Edition, October 17, 2005

"Hobart Smith was a first-class musician and showman, all right. Played by himself. Didn't carry a band. Played all the string instruments, too, and was a mighty fine buckdancer. He was a good guitar bluesman, a great old-time fiddler, and I'd have to say, he was the best old-time banjo picker I ever heard." -- Bill Monroe
