Lighter Texas Fiddle Tunes, 1900 (24) RE: Texas Fiddle Tunes, 1900 19 Apr 20

You're right about fiddling "getting around." But it seems to me that recordings and general comments about it connect American folk fiddling predominantly to the Appalachians. (Texas and the Ozarks may be tied for third.)

As for unaccompanied ballad singing, published collections (from Maine to Florida to Utah, at the very least) indicate that the practice was very widespread.
