I've been reading Sean Dietrich's "Sean of the South" web site -- hilarious and biting commentary, mostly on right wing evil and insanity, but also on being human, for years. If you're suffering under the prejudice that all Southerners are MAGA idiots, you need to check it out. Start with this: seandietrich.com/the-blind-coonhound.

What I didn't know earlier was that Sean is also an Old Time Fiddler. This YouTube video is absolutely the best thing ever on how "Old Time" differs from its flashier cousin, "Blue Grass". In my previous life as a fiddler, I was always trying to explain that I did not play Bluegrass, and why. This explains it much better than I ever did... in 8 minutes! Listen till the end and enjoy.
