The Work of Art: Luther Medley - Bass and Fiddle

Luther Medley and assistant Ed Holden show off a Medley designed bass. After he retired, Medley thought instrument making and repair work would bring in a "few extra dollars" for his favorite pastime, "goin' fishing." Medley's bass became so popular that he enlisted the help of Holden, a retired friend, woodworker, and fellow musician. Holden owns and plays this particular bass in his bluegrass band.
