about
Alan Jabbour (http://www.alanjabbour.com) documented and learned from Southern old-time fiddlers in the 1960s. Fiddlers like Henry Reed of Glen Lyn, Virginia, and Tommy Jarrell of Toast, North Carolina, provided him with a rich repertory of tunes as well as models for Southern fiddling style. His band, the Hollow Rock String Band, became pioneers in the revival of old-time Southern string band music that began in the 1960s and continues today. After serving many years as director of the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Alan is spending his retirement teaching, writing and playing the fiddle.
