- Roscoe Holcomb.
- Welcome to the music of Roscoe Holcomb, courtesy of John Cohen and Smithsonian Folkways. ...
- There, at the end of a holler on his ramshackle porch, "banjer" in hand and looking off and beyond the mountain tops, once sat a rangy fellow by the name of Roscoe Holcomb. Body ravaged through years of work in the coal mines, farming, and such, Holcomb would sit on his porch, pick his guitar or pluck a banjo, singing the songs of his surroundings in such a fashion that totally clashed with the coming tide of modernism. ...
- Bob Dylan once commented that Holcomb ". ... The Baptists forbade musical instruments; and since Holcomb grew fond of string instruments and harmonica, he drifted to the more musically adventurous, boisterous Holiness church. ...
- Cohen first met Holcomb in 1959. ... Bluegrass pioneer Ralph Stanley, who in 1966 toured Germany with Holcomb, noted "you could feel the smell of woodsmoke in that voice. ...
- Despite the fact that Holcomb recorded, and even performed a few noteworthy concerts, he is not to be confused with his more commercial fellow eastern Kentuckians. Acclaimed, professional artists such as Grandpa Jones, The Osborne Brothers, and Bill Monroe all came from the same region, yet unlike Holcomb they intended to be stars. Holcomb merely performed for the pure joy, whether for an audience of people or pines. ...
- For someone simply content with singing his lonesome songs to himself, Holcomb nevertheless traveled to many, for him, strange places, performing at folk and bluegrass festivals, beginning with a 1961 trip to perform at the University of Chicago Folk Festival, followed by a concert in New York City. ...
- Smithsonian's Cohen, in 1962, coined the term 'high lonesome sound' to describe Holcomb's sky-piercing mountain tenor. ... But it was Holcomb who fully and most accurately embodied the description. ...
- The outside world, somewhere beyond the hills that gave birth to Holcomb, must have seemed a million miles away. ...
- Songs such as an acapella Moonshiner and House in New Orleans give insight into Holcomb's more audacious side, while gospel tunes like In the Pines and Motherless Children show the mountain man clinging valiantly to deep-rooted spiritual beliefs. ... Draw near as Holcomb, blue as the mountains, exposes his pain on Trouble in Mind. The oft covered tune fits perfectly in its imperfections with Holcomb, a man who, despite his dire lot in life, nevertheless clinched tightly to the song's positive note that "The sun's gonna shine on my back door someday. ...

- A Holcomb Herschelian 8" reflector, now in the Smithsonian.
- Amasa Holcomb began a tradition of commercial telescope making in Southwick, Massachusetts, the obscure southwest corner of the Pioneer Valley, at the turn of the 19th century. ...
- It is a quirk of geography and politics the Amasa Holcomb ended up in the state of Massachusetts. Holcomb was born in un-incorporated farm land in 1787, son of a revolutionary war veteran. A long-standing land dispute was resolved during Holcombs childhood years. In return for giving up claims to the prosperous river towns of Suffield and Enfield that were clearly south of the 42 parallel (though long affiliated with the churches of Springfield, MA), Massachusetts was given a nearly 25 square mile rectangle of sparsely inhabited land west of the Congamuck Lakes, which happened to include the Holcomb family farm. Amasa Holcomb spent the rest of his life in the "Southwick Jog", the tiny part of Massachusetts that breaks up the otherwise "razor straight" border with Connecticut.
- In later life Holcomb would joke that he "lived in 4 towns and 2 states. ... However, the political land wrangling prevented Holcomb from ever getting a formal education, since neither the Massachusetts town of Southwick nor the Connecticut towns of Simsbury (and later Granby) would spend money on a schoolhouse, church, or teacher until the land dispute was resolved.
- Holcombs cousin Abijah was one such lad, with the ambition and training to be a navigator on a cargo ship. ... By age 15, the self-taught Holcomb secured a position at the private school in Suffield, tutoring Harvard-bound boys, many of whom were older than he.
- Young Holcomb took it upon himself to write his own almanac the following year, mainly because: ". ... " Holcomb took it upon himself to right such wrongs, and states in the 1807 almanac "of all the sciences cultivated by mankind, astronomy is acknowledged to be, and undoubtedly is the most interesting. ...
