Born on December 21, 1919, in Pulaski, VA to a large musical family, she performed regularly with her family on local radio in the 1940s. Slaughter is known for her unique, driving style of clawhammer banjo playing, with complex noting and double-noting and featuring both uppicking and downpicking. She also occasionally played fiddle."
