    This film is available on Netflix and has some wonderful fiddling material. Shouldn't be missed by those of you with Netflix.

    "Featuring rare performance footage of Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs and Bill Monroe, this PBS program chronicles Kentucky's roots in bluegrass, mountain, country and gospel music, and showcases regional fiddle, mandolin, banjo and dulcimer players. Performances by a 77-year-old banjo player, next-generation fiddlers and many other enthusiastic Bluegrass State musicians serve to illustrate and illuminate Kentucky's rich musical heritage."

    My favorite parts of the film are the fiddling of Jesse Wells, a visit to the Ratcliff workshop, and footage of seven year-old Ricky Skaggs trading solos with Earl Scruggs.
