Hi all,
This may well have been shared already but searching old threads didn't bring it up.
I was googling away trying to find any old footage of fiddlers (I've read here and there about footage being shown at theaters in the '20s of fiddling conventions and have always wondered if any made its way into the digital age. Still searching...). Anyway, I did stumble upon footage of Gid Tanner playing a house party in 1955. It's a short clip of him doing 'Tanner's Boarding House' but it fairly blew my mind.
And here's a link to the original recording of the song:
Enjoy.
Lew
