That's the one thing I really regret, hearsay or not, I didn't ask my dad enough about where he got his tunes and songs. I know he got a lot of them from the old man who taught him fiddle and made one of the ones we have. The son of that old fiddlemaker, my dad's age and old when I met him, told me some of the stuff we know in our family is specific to western Colorado...just slight variations, etc. Of course, he got a lot off the old 78s he grew up listening to, also.
