Indian Corn (aka Ol' Woodard's Tune)

In 1979, I had only been playing the fiddle for a couple of years, and I was still pretty raw. But my stage persona was fully formed, complete with Hoosier twang. I was then producing a radio show for the public station in Fort Wayne, Indiana Hoedown: Traditional Music from the Hoosier State. I'm posting this mostly for my exchanges with the contest emcee, Sam Devincent of WOWO, a radio veteran. Sam had also compiled the largest personal collection of popular sheet music and folios in the US. He was proud of his career as both a performer and a music librarian. His collection ended up at the Smithsonian. I played a small part in that story.
