from Wikipedia - “Old time fiddle is a genre of American folk music. ‘Old time fiddle tunes’ may be played on fiddle, banjo or other instruments but are nevertheless called ‘fiddle tunes’. The genre has European origins and traces from the colonization of North America by immigrants from England, France, Germany, Ireland, and Scotland in the 1600s and thereafter. It is separate and distinct from traditions which it has influenced or which may in part have evolved from it, such as bluegrass, country blues, variants of western swing and country rock.”
