1910 - 2001 

His love of music came down through his maternal Grand- father, who owned an Edison Phonograph and about 100 records. He began learning the fiddle at the age of 7. He developed an excellent ear playing the pieces from Grandpa’s old cylinder records. At the age of 16 he played his first Square Dance and after that he played at house dances. Larry has played in many musical groups and at many Round and Square Dances down through the years. Larry learned much of his repertoire from a blind fiddler, Jehile B. Kirkhuff, who is also in the N.Y. State Fiddlers' Hall of Fame.
