Cuje Bertram

Bennie Esterd "Cuje" Bertram (August 24, 1894 – April 2, 1993) was an African American old-time fiddle player from Kentucky. He played in the same style as neighbouring white musicians of the region. While musicians such as Leonard Rutherford and Dick Burnett were popular recording artists, record companies were not interested in producing old-time music for the race record market. Around 1970, he made home recordings, which were issued by Document Records on the CD Black Fiddlers 1929-c1970. Bertram died in April 1993 in Marion, Indiana.
