Early film of Appalachian musician Bascom Lamar Lunsford. I thought of him as a banjo player. Didn't realize he also played fiddle. The tune is Cumberland Gap, renamed for a local Dogget's Gap. (The colors were added recently.)

Open house at the Chicago School of Violin Making. Sounds interesting. Some great people have come through that program.
