Brother Fielding,

is it not interesting and ironic that one primal source of Country and Western music is a white man in blackface? When my old pal Tex Rubinowitz hit Emmett Miller at the roots of Hank Williams years ago we were amazed. But thanks to this reissue I'll be able to hear the influence and the crossover instead of imagining them. Great Thread. Now if one realizes that Black Fiddlers have been a somewhat unheralded influence on Old Time Music...(thanks RMWT). Chance
