Live Fiddle Music on the Internet . Recorded in Glen Lyn, Virginia, by folklorist Alan Jabbour in 1966-67, when Reed was over 80 years old, these tunes represent the music and evoke the history and spirit of the Appalachian frontier. Recorded between 1970 and the 1990s by Jeff Titon, Bruce Greene, John Harrod, and others, these recordings constitute a comprehensive resource for studying the repertoire, technique, and lore of Kentucky's traditional musicians. The Archives also include a collection of audio recordings from the Celebration of Traditional Music, held annually at Berea since 1974. The performances document a wide variety of Appalachian regional performing styles, and genres beyond those found in Kentucky.
Collections are well indexed and searchable by artist, title or location via an inhouse database.
