This is some snippits of music from a bygone era in this very old community of Beekersville, My grandparents used to play at the local community dances and performed at the garden parties between the early 1900's till the 1960's and it seems that there isn't too many around that can recall some of these old pieces let alone the bygone era....no man's memory is as good as the faintest Ink...or note plucked on an ancient violin.

p.s ...By the way, I am just acting and I'm not really intoxicated just horse-assin around, hope you don't mind. We fiddlers love to horse around it seems. I always loved the comedian Foster Brooks.
We practice in the hay mow. Watch out for low flying pitch-forks!!
