Clyde Davenport
Clyde Davenport is an old-time fiddler and banjo player from
south-central Kentuck y. In 1990, Brown University
ethnomusicologist Jeff Titon recorded music and interviews
with Mr. Davenport and his family. He then created a
hypertext, multimedia Hypercard stack with links to brief
essays about Davenport's music and fellow musicians,
photographs, and recordings of several of Davenport's tunes.
As a demonstration of the capabilities of the Web,
Geoffrey Bilder converted the Hypercard stack to HTML in
1995, including the sound and image files. STG still hosts
the Clyde Davenport project as a website.
This is an
example of a very early web project.
