The Stones River Reelers play old-time dance tunes and songs from a century ago. What the deuce is that? Well, Herman Crook said it best in 1974:
“It has changed a lot, but it shouldn’t have changed. It should be the same all the way through, ’cause people that comes to see ... they’re coming to see—what they expect to see—is the old-time music. That’s what it's supposed to be. That’s the way it started out, and it's not supposed to be a change in it.”
Like all the great old-timers, we play this venerated music to avoid hard labor.
