Trevor Stuart - North Carolina Mountains Fiddler and Violin Maker

I recorded this conversation with old-time fiddler and violin maker Trevor Stuart in 2015 while attending the National Folk Festival that was held that year in the city of Greensboro, North Carolina. Trevor was performing with his twin brother, Travis Stuart, who plays the banjo. We talked about the role the violin played far back in the mountains in years past for dances, corn shuckings, medicine shows, and even wrestling contests pitting an orangutan against all comers. Sadly, Trevor passed away the next year at the age of 47. This episode of Rosin the Bow is dedicated to his memory.
