age of seventy five, was a regal ar
fair and was attended, at Waltzen,

Bandas favorite melodies were
played at the graveside by such a
galaxy of famous fiddlers as Hun
gary has never before seen.
How Banda came to be the
"Fiddlers King" makes good read
ing.
His predecessor was a well-known
fiddler named Rucz, and Banda
challenged him to a fiddle duel
for his title. The duel" was
fought" for over an hour before
an audience of thousands; but the
judges could not agree upon a
verdict, or did not dare, for pas,
sions had becoTe uncontrollably

The crowd tacitly agreed, how
ever, that Banda had justified his
claim to being Hungary's supreme
