Thoughts on Rhoda Browning Hart by her grandson Wes Hart.
Grandma played a 5 string banjo that she learned how to play when she was a little girl in Kentucky. She told me that one of her Browning uncles, (Jim or Joe) made her a child sized banjo when she was about 6 years old and she latter took violin lessons. She was very good at picking and could play guitar and the piano just as well. Grandma Hart would always start out with playing the song "Careless Love" and she would finish with the same song. The words to the song involve a young lady that is unwed and pregnant.
Rhoda and her partner Robert Hall (from Roane County Tennessee) that played fiddle recorded several 78 rpm records. They played bluegrass live over the radio and at local barn dances.
Grandma or Ma as my folks would call her told me many stories about what it was like growing up as a little girl in Kentucky.
My grandmother Rhoda used to make apple stack cake. The upstairs bedroom had a bedframe that she would cover with a sheet. I helped her a few times to peal and quarter apples. We would spread them on the sheet and let them dry. There were always dried apples upstairs. Grandma would make apple butter to make the stack cake. She would let it cool and cover it with a cloth. I liked it fresh made but my dad said it was never good till it aged until fermented . He liked it with mold on it.
