Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs. -

LET’S LEAD ON CLIMATE 2 Let’s Lead on Climate ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THIS GUIDE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY AUTHORS ABOUT THIS GUIDE Paige Fery Building off our Let’s Talk Climate guides which provided Research Manager communication guidance, ecoAmerica is pleased to bring you ecoAmerica our Let’s Lead on Climate series of guides that will feature faith, health,and community organizations that are leading on climate by Meighen Speiser reducing their climate impact and inspiring others to act on solutions. Chief Engagement Officer ecoAmerica This guide features stories from organizations and communities across America that have successfully engaged their constituents in programs and initiatives to elevate climate leadership, action, and solutions. From nurses to pastors to local leaders, these stories allow others to see how Americans just like themselves have led on climate in their own neighborhoods and local communities. Within each story are lessons and insights, recommendations, and metrics that reflect outcomes. We hope that in shining a light on these success stories, we can help many more leaders envision how their own organization and community can lead on climate.

Bowes, Jr. Foundation, the Linden Trust for Conservation, Dan Emmett, the Anthropocene Institute, the New Visions Fund, Bonwood Social Investments, F.K.
