Bud Landress

George Oscar "Bud" Landress was born in Gwinnett County in 1882. He considered himself a native to Gordon County, Georgia, however. He and his friend, Bill Chitwood (of Resaca, Georgia) formed the pre-country string band The Georgia Yellow Hammers. Both played fiddle and banjo, and switched out most of the time.[1]
