Songs of Appalachia: Fiddler Charlie Acuff

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of eighty-eight-year-old Fiddler Charlie Acuff playing the "Josie Girl," "Sally Gooden" ..
"Eighty-eight-year-old Charlie Acuff is the elder statesman of Knoxville's old-time music scene. He was 12 years old when he learned to play the fiddle, and by the 1930's, he was performing regularly on the radio with his brother, Gayle, as well as at schools, square dances and social events."
