Her mother. Ollie O’Neal, could play just about any stringed instrument in addition to harmonica, piano and jaw harp. Ollie's fourteen children learned the hymns, blues, reels and rags that were popular in the rural South of the thirties and forties. Algia Mae was the baby girl, and by the time she began to play guitar at the age of nine, her brothers and sisters, cousins, and in- laws had made quite a family reputation playing at frolic dances and house parties. Dancing was competitive in the family, and Algia Mae taught herself how to combine guitar-playing and dancing in a show-stopping piece called simply, "Buck Dance." Before long she was in demand at local functions, and through the years played regularly in the community while raising and giving musical instruction to her own seven children. Her wide repetoire of blues songs and dance pieces, along with a natural ability to get a crowd moving, have brought Algia Mae to the attention of a wider audience in the last few years She first came to the festival circuit in 1978 at the North Carolina Folklife Festival in Durham, and since then has performed at the National Folk Festival at Wolf Trap, the Chicago Folk Festival, the St Louis Folklife Festival, and the World's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. She has shared her music with thousands of North Carolina school children through a concert series spon- sored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. Her music can be heard on "Eight-Hand Sets and Holy Steps." an album produced by the N.C. Museum of History for the "Black Experience in North Carolina" exhibit. Algia Mae now lives with children and grand- children on a farm outside of Zebulon, N.C. Her home was recently the site of a documentary on black folk traditions produced by noted folklorist Alan Lomax.
