Audio recordings online from the Florida Folk Festival 1954-2006.

One of the recordings, "Jaybird Sitting on a Hickory Limb" is one of the oldest fiddle tunes in North America and said to be a favorite of George Washington.

My pleasure, Bob! Lieberry of Congress has a bunch more of these type of old recordings too. What old time music sites have you found?

Haven't been looking. Maybe it's time I started.
