Boy - I sure wish I had some of those fiddles and banjos. I wonder how many are still around?

@SuckerPunchTV He could at least tap a foot! How rude.

I just found this clip, among others of similar interest, in the video "times ain't like they used to be" - which is available on Netflix (streaming or dvd)..
-
Thanks for posting this! There's no way I could have found this video anywhere else.
For all those fiddle players who want to learn this tune, I teach this tune for fiddle on my channel. I threw in a bunch of advanced bluegrass licks too. I post a new lesson for fiddle, guitar, and mandolin there every single week! You can also get the full lesson and the sheet music on my website.

Bun Wright is my late Grandfather's uncle. FDR had definitely heard the tune before. Bun Wright was known as FDR's favorite fiddler, as he visited Warm Springs often for treaments. Bun's Violin is on display at the Little White House in Warm Springs.

disarmingly good

The New Lost City Ramblers used a still from this film in the liner notes to their record "Songs of the Depression". This is at Warm Springs, Georgia. I would guess that it is from a newsreel.
FDR (born 1882) was not a commie bastard -- he was one of our greatest presidents. And while it's impossible to know whether he ever heard of Soldier's Joy, old time music was not unknown even among the upper classes in those days.

he wanted them to play that? FDR looked totally uninterested.

I wonder why FDR doesn't get up and dance.

So many cool styles and instruments. One of the banjo guys is playing clawhammer, the other guy is playing two-finger. The fiddlers are epic, and the Gibson harpguitar is amazing. Great video.
