Summary: The "Vintage Fiddling in Eastern Kentucky" oral history project was conducted by Marynell Young from 1984-1986 with support from the Appalachian Development Center, Morehead State University; and the Kentucky Folklife Foundation, Kentucky Oral History Commission. The collection includes interviews conducted by Marynell Young with eastern Kentucky fiddlers, musicians, and their family members including Alfred Bailey, Mary G. Bailey, Virgil Alfrey, Clela B. Alfrey, Chillson Leach, J.P. Fraley and Annadeene Fraley, David Sizemore, Hiram Stamper, and Clyde T. Davenport. These musicians learned to play their instruments early in the century, and they discuss the transmission of fiddle tunes from one generation to the next, dance music, instrument making, and other topics. Recordings are predominantly performances of fiddle tunes. Manuscripts include seven b&w photographs (photocopies) of fiddlers by David Bartlett; photocopies of clippings, programs, and correspondence from the performers' personal scrapbooks; and performers' signed releases for the Kentucky Oral History Commission, plus tape recording logs. Posters advertise the collection and the 10th anniversary Appalachian Celebration, June 22-28, 1986.
