Abstract:

Old-time music played on fiddles, banjos, mandolins, and dulcimers has for decades attracted North Carolinians to festivals. Tomlin describes perhaps the oldest festival that was held in the Iredell County township of Union Grove in 1924. It now hosts two a year. A younger festival is the Bluegrass and Old-Time Fiddlers Convention held in Mt. Airy since 1972.
