Thread Name: Fiddlin' in Missouri, 1923
Subject: RE: Fiddlin' in Missouri, 1923
Two more titles from a slightly fuller version of that article in a Michigan paper:
Jinney are You There? Step Light, Ladies.
The fiddlers' contest happened in Paris, Mo. All the titles given appeared in Missouri newspaper accounts of local old-time fiddlers' contests.
Between 1920 and 1950 Vance Randolph collected some 500 tune titles in the Ozarks - most of them unfamiliar, some of them probably personal titles and some just jokes.
