One day in July 1998, John Hartford and I met Dr. Wolfe for lunch in Nashville. I made sure to ask Dr. Wolfe, if he wouldn’t mind, to autograph my copy of his book. He was a pleasant man and inundated with information about country music history.
Dr. Wolfe’s “The Devil’s Box” remains the authoritative account of Southern fiddling.
