Across the Blue Ridge #37 - Master fiddlers, and a new album from David Holt

This week, we celebrate master fiddlers from West Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina with music of the late Clark Kessinger, Buddy Thomas and Benny Jarrell.  It's a grand experience hearing expert fiddlers' takes on classic and obscure dance tunes.  Plus … banjo player Frank Proffitt of the North Carolina mountains, with a lonesome yet serene sound, and a couple of selections from a new album by David Holt and Josh Goforth.  These two outstanding musicians breathe some new life into songs and tunes from the old time mountain, ragtime and jazz traditions.
