the roots of today's bluegrass and country music. In addition, fiddler
Jim Cauthen will demonstrate fiddle tunes that have been mentioned in
historical writings, slave narratives and early newspapers of Alabama. Be
prepared to hear a musical treat of styles and tunes that are seldom heard
today. An Alabama Humanities program sponsored by the Friends of the
