N:From the playing of Tom Fuller (1890-1979, Ok.), recorded in the field by
N:Brad Leftwich in 1973.
N:Fuller, born and raised in Indian Territory, pre-statehood, was a farmer,
N:cowboy and oilfield worker in southern Oklahoma and west Texas. His fiddling
N:predates the popular "contest" style of fiddling, according to Brad Leftwich,
N:and "represents an earlier time...when a fiddler's main role was to play for dancing
N:and to entertain family and neighbors."
N:"Fullerton" sounds like a place-name, although it presently does not exist in Oklahoma.
