West Virginia has produced a dazzling number of great fiddle players; you'll meet many of them here. Pictures, video, and audio files will be a regular feature.
I was lucky enough to get to know Wilson Douglas (Clay County) just as I was starting to play the fiddle and I learned from listening to and watching Wilson. The Douglas farm where Wilson grew up was on a hill above Rush Fork hollow. At one time this area was infamous as a rough and tumble region noted for wild and strange occurances. You won't find it mentioned on your road map, but that is the place called Booger Hole.
A wild and wonderful place for documentary photography, music, and video. West Virginia old time fiddling a specialty of the house.
