![["Doug Van Gundy of Elkins led an apprenticeship in old-time fiddle of the Greenbrier Valley with Annie Stroud of Charleston as part of the 2018 West Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program, supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Doug Van Gundy is an eighth-generation West Virginian who learned old-time fiddle from Greenbrier County fiddler Mose Coffman through the 1993 Augusta Heritage Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program. Annie Stroud, of Charleston, is a Greenbrier County native who began playing violin at an early age, and through the apprenticeship, is now learning old-time fiddle tunes local to her home county. She plays fiddle with the Allegheny Hellbenders string band and is a member of the Morgantown Friends of Old-Time Music and Dance.See our feature on Van Gundys apprenticeship with Stroud here: https://wvfolklife.org/2019/01/23/2018-master-artist-apprentice-feature-doug-van-gundy-annie-stroud-old-time-fiddling-of-the-greenbrier-valley/"]](/thumb/4224VanGundyStroudAnniePhoto0015219 "Doug Van Gundy and Annie Stroud perform at a West Virginia Humanities Council fundraiser at West Virginia University's Blaney House in Morgantown")
