Fiddle

My Dad, was born in 1920, the second and youngest son of a East Texas tenant farmer. His family always lived on and worked someone elses land. In his teenage years his older brother saved enough money to order a guitar from Sears. He was able to save enough for a Sears fiddle. During his high school years he played in a high school country band. I grew up hearing him and his friends play in the homes and on the porches of our friends after we enjoyed a freezer of ice cream. This fiddle has special memories for me.
