OBS by a master (1945)

Fiddlin' Arthur Smith, one of the most influential fiddlers of the 'Golden Age of Country Music' and a precursor of bluegrass fiddling technique, can be seen playing 'Orange Blossom Special' in a clip from the 1945 B Western film Lonesome trail on YouTube. More biographical info is appended to the film clip.

This is one of twenty-five videos (including similar musical clips from old Westerns, several of which featured Arthur Smith) which can be found on YouTube at the Old Time Music pages. Visit the Roots of American Fiddle Music site as well, where at least one jig appears on a 1926 recording. Thanks to FOAOTMAD for the lead.
