However, it was the guitar and mandolin that Eddie preferred when he first began in those formative years to learn to play music. Later the brothers played and sang as a duo in local churches and on radio stations in nearby Charlottesville.
As there wasn’t a record player in the household and their radio was of limited use, Adcock’s early love for music grew mostly from hearing the live musicians playing at Scottsville’s Victory Hall theatre where many now famous country music stars performed during the s and into the s.

Description
Eddie Adcock talks about growing up in Scottsville, Virginia and Martha Adcock talks about growing up in North Carolina. They each talk about their families, their early interest in music, and their experience with rationing during World War II. Eddie Adcock talks about being a self-taught musician. He talks about the artists he saw perform at the local Victory Hall theater and how they and other musicians influenced him.
Eddie Adcock talks about Smokey Graves, who he says was ahead of his time. He talks about how creators are always ahead of the audience in terms of what is popular. What creators are creating will not be popular until later, once the audience has had time to adjust to the new style, therefore those who copy others are always more popular than the creators themselves. Adock talks more about the difficulty of being a self-taught musician and the importance of listening to the inspiration inside of you instead of trying to imitate others. Eddie and Martha Adcock discuss the reasons why touring back in the early days of Eddie&#;s career was so difficult, including narrow highways, few restaurants and hotels, and low speeds. H
