the great interstate fiddle contest of 1926 (lotta good tunes done gone on)

a story song that came to me while walking the dog today after having read this article. an elegy for the death of live music+dance culture but also a note of hope that new tunes composed in the style today can replace the tunes that have died with the fiddlers that knew them, since tunes then and now truly spring from the same timeless and abundant well.
