Keeping It Old Time

  • Big Ragtag 10 Hitt Street Columbia, MO, 65201 United States (map)

Further Adventures in the Conservation and Celebration of Missouri’s Heritage of Traditional Fiddle Music with Howard Marshall. The third and final book in Howard Marshall’s series about the heritage and people of the fiddle, Missouri’s official State Musical Instrument, begins in the Folk Music Revival of the 1960s and ends in the present. To celebrate the publication of Keeping It Old-Time, Professor Marshall will discuss the history and cultural heritage of fiddle and dance music and present an informal concert with Columbia area musicians. “Keep it old-time” is a familiar phrase that echoes many fiddlers’ preference for carrying on the inherited tunes and styles of former times – but we know that most musicians learn from many sources and influences and appreciate many different styles. This will be a hugely entertaining and informative event! Sponsored by the University of Missouri Press
