Country fiddling is an honored part of the American tradition. The "Rural South" produced a rough country style that is now called "old time" music. Bluegrass is a fast-paced virtuoso style rooted in early country, gospel and blues music. Fiddling, like social dancing, has undergone a continuous broadening of scope with each generation. Some of the most recent Great American Fiddlers include; Johnny Gimble, Benny Thomasson, Kenny Baker, Mark O'Conner, Vassar Clements, Benny Martin, Clark Kessinger, Herman Johnson, Howdy Forrester, Byron Berline, Richard Greene, Chubby Wise and of course, Roy Clark.
