fiddlin’
back to life
O
JL decent years have seen the
revival of bluegrass and blues
music. Surprisingly, both bluegrass
and blues originated during this
century, evolving out of what may
be called the old time string music
tradition — fiddle music.
In Eugene, a city alway in search
of a new tradition or lost art, fiddle
music is beginning to come into its
own. For a profile of the lead fiddler
of a local string music group, The
Northern Broadcasters, and more
on their brand of music, please turn
