"Fiddlin' Doc Roberts (April 26, 1897 - August 4, 1978) was an American Kentucky-style old-time fiddler. In the fall of 1927, he formed a duo with Asa Martin called Martin & Roberts. Between 1927 and 1934, the duo performed at fiddler's conventions, in schoolhouses, on vaudeville stages, and on radio (WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky). Martin & Roberts recorded altogether more than 200 sides on eleven different labels. With the addition of Doc Roberts' son, James, the Fiddlin' Doc Roberts Trio was formed. The Doc Roberts Trio lasted until 1934 when Roberts retired as a recording artist." (per Wikipedia)
