Fiddle music is one of the long-standing traditions and cultural elements of the Ozarks. And preserving historical melodies and styles and influential performers is important. Cultural preservationist Gordon McCann and ethnomusicologist Drew Beisswenger recently completed a vastly interesting and noteworthy book entitled Ozarks Fiddle Music. In it they documents our classic Ozarks tunes.
