TGIFF! Its Fiddle Friday and we bring you some Country Roots.
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 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.
