Fiddling John Carson

From Freepedia

Fiddling John Carson (1868 - 1949) was an important early country fiddler. He was born on a farm north of Smyrna (Cobb County), Georgia on March 23, 1868.

Through his extensive recordings and personal appearances at fiddling contests, Carson became a darling of the mass media and was written about more than any other figure from the "golden age" of the 1920’s.
