The story of fiddler Will Adams, who had deep roots in African American communities of Montgomery County from Sandy Spring to Norbeck to Ken-Gar, will be featured in a virtual presentation of Montgomery History at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 15.
In 1953, Mr. Adams was recorded by folklorist Mike Seeger (half-brother of Pete Seeger), who grew up in Chevy Chase. Mr. Adams' family history offers a glimpse of African American life in Montgomery County from the final years of slavery to the mid-20th Century.
The presentation will address how the music of both Mr. Adams and Mike Seeger lives on among contemporary old-time musicians.
