The long-awaited sequel to Sprout Wings and Fly (Les Blank's first film about this homegrown Appalachian fiddler and raconteur) is a gentle celebration of mountain living, a once-thriving American way of life. This portrait showcases Tommy's unpretentious folk wisdom and reminiscences. The soundtrack features his singing and fiddling, spiced with a visit to the Smithsonian to test-drive an authentic Stradivarius violin

My great uncle Tommy and my grandmother Julie. I never get tired to hear these old stories and listen to Tommy play.

Is this from Sprout Wings And Fly or is it a separate film?

Separate film, yes. This was called, “My Old Fiddle”.

That's a remarkable old fiddle, that survived the American Civil War, so why not treat it to a bit of tender loving care? Having it caked in rosin dust like that is not going to do it any favours. You really do not need so much rosin on your bow since the strings will retain tackiness as a result of playing. Keep the body of your fiddle clean, you will get a much better sound out of it, and also your fiddle will look so much better too.
