Uncle Dave Macon Jordan Am A Hard Road
The Dixie Dewdrop
Uncle Dave Macon (October 7, 1870 - March 22, 1952), also known as "The Dixie Dewdrop", was an American farmer, banjo player, singer, songwriter and comedian.
Born David Harrison Macon in Smartt Station, Tennessee, Macon farmed for many years, playing the banjo as a hobby. At age fifty, he joined a vaudeville touring company, putting on a comedy show and playing old-time music accompanying himself on banjo. Immediately popular, within a few years he was in New York City making country phonograph records that became almost instant bestsellers, and at age 56 he was one of the first stars of the Grand Ole Opry on WSM radio in Nashville. Macon continued to perform until his passing in 1952 at age 81 in Readyville, Tennessee. He was inducted posthumously into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1966.
