Dream Proves True as Marion Sawmill Worker Forms Band
Sam Richard and his six year old son Sammie Lee dreamt of playing on a street corner and winning applause. Sam, a Marion Negro mill worker, formed a seven member family hillbilly band after the son quickly learned the mandolin and outplayed adults.
