Abstract:

Following the aftermath of WWI, the waltz and the blues became increasingly important and popular. Southern fiddlers began to incorporate blues elements and tunes into their music, partially in response to increased awareness of blues through recordings and radio, and partially through a growing appreciation of local black blues styles.
