Originally from the Scottish highlands, after the final failed rebellion the Dover's emigrated to the "new world" and settled in the Ozarks. They were supposed to end up in Kansas but when asked where they were headed the old Dover patriarch kept replying "Ach, Kansas" so they interpreted this as Arkansas! Great, Great Grampa could play anything he could put his hands on and was proud of his bag pipe blasts, but he really enjoyed the "new" American instruments and music. Of course he learned guitar and washtub bass and fell in love with another fellow "gutbucketeer" and both passed down the tradition to Zeb's Great Gramma.
