WHERE TO FIND THE MUSIC AND CONGRATS!

Lately several people have asked me where to find samples of old-time fiddle music.  There'a link on my website to an audio clip of Jake Krack playing YEW PINEY MOUNTAIN.  http://www.sarahsullivanbooks.com/passingthemusicdown.html
You can also go to the Smithsonian Folkways website and find the CD pictured above -- "CLASSIC OLD-TIME FIDDLE." http://www.folkways.si.edu/albumdetails.aspx?itemid=3166
"CLASSIC OLD-TIME FIDDLE" was compiled and annotated by Jake Krack and Jeff Place.   It contains archival recordings of old-time fiddle music from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, (including a recording of Melvin Wine playing YEW PINEY MOUNTAIN).  The artwork on the cover is by Alan Lomax.  You can read the complete liner notes here:http://media.smithsonianfolkways.org/liner_notes/smithsonian_folkways/SFW40193.pdf
