Gerry Milnes presents a personal portrait of central West Virginia musician Lester McCumbers. Some rare film shot at the West Virginia State Folk Festival at Glenville in 1973 shows some of the older musical performers. Linda McCumbers, his wife, sings there and at recent visits to the Augusta Heritage workshops. Lester was friends with many deceased central West Virginia musicians including French and Ernie Carpenter, Ward Jarvis, Harvey Sampson, Melvin Wine, Emory Bailey, Phoebe Parsons and many others. Part of the Augusta Master series.
