Ranch Radio Song Of The Day #1489

Here's some old time fiddlin' that goes out to Bobby Jones.  He should be healing up fine, as long as Pat isn't beating on him too much.

In 1883 Theron Hale was born in Pikeville, Tenn. and originally gained recognition as a banjo player.  He later took up the fiddle and formed a group with his daughters (Elizabeth on the piano and Mamie Ruth on second fiddle or mandolin).  They first appeared on the Grand Old Opry in 1926 and were regulars through the early thirties.  On Oct. 3, 1928 they recorded several tunes including today's selections, Hale's Rag + Jolly Blacksmith. Both numbers are on the Document Records CD Nashville, 1928.
