Tib Hart

When Heaman Hart was a small child, an aunt remarked that he was no bigger than a tibblet! The name stuck and he has been known as Tib ever since. His wife Brenda, bought him a banjo, an old Harmony, from a pawn shop and he learned to play by attending festivals, asking questions of others who played and listening to recordings. He cites some as his major influences as Earl Scruggs, Sonny Osborne, J.D. Crowe, Don Parmley and Billy Rose. He also credits a neighbor, Everett Jarvis, as a source of help and inspiration. Tib tells the story of meeting Randy by chance in 1976. “I was at Jerry’s Bait & Gun Shop in Logan, Ohio, pickin’ on Jerry’s banjo and Randy came in. We were there for about 1½ hours pickin’ and I completely forgot I had left my wife, (who was pregnant at the time), outside until someone came into the store and asked about the “young lady” sleeping in the car. When I met Randy again two years ago, we remembered it.” Tib and Brenda make their home in the Guysville, Ohio area and together penned the song, “The Just One,” which can be found on the project, “Church At Hickory Grove.”
