Calvin Carter is interviewed by Gwendolyn Sheppard on February 16 and March 10, 1989 as a part of the Western North Carolina Tomorrow Black Oral History Project. Carter discussed having Indian in his bloodline, how his parents met at the railroads, getting spanked as a child (preferring his mom to do it because she finished quicker), the importance of music to his life, and more.
