historical fiddle and mandolin footage, Canadian north
No sound I'm afraid.
Footage of musicians begins at about 1:10. Watch closely!
The military uniforms don't look Canadian. American?

Reason: additional info
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
