Fiddle 4 Old-Time (Tue) – week 2

We bravely made our way to the key of C. (Hey, this is Fiddle 4).

Our tune comes from John Salyer, a fabulous fiddler from eastern Kentucky who made a bunch of home recordings in the early 1940s. He traveled around the entire planet after being discharged from the army in the Phillipines. He came to Chicago for the World’s Fair and played for dances in a downtown hotel. He went back to Kentucky where he farmed and taught school. He never made any commercial records.
