Loc: Fiddle Tunes of the Old Frontier

Curated by ACT

At this site from the Library of Congress, you can listen to an 82-year-old Virginia fiddler, Henry Reed, playing tunes recorded in the 1960's. Many of the tunes have been transcribed and the notation can be viewed on line as well. The tunes are lively and represent a truly authentic collection of Appalachian historic music.
