Whoa hard times!  I have to admit, when they had the heart to heart and Mom says sell the books, her fathers pocket watch and silver combs I was like, awwww. Then he says.. "The fiddle". I said out loud, 


YES! 

That fiddle music is a little too much authenticity. I don't know how anyone back then thought an instrument that sounded like tortured dying cats was musical.Maybe he can take up... Guitar? Or harmonica?

 The fiddle was THE instrument of the times. My grandfather was a poor dairy farmer who as a child migrated from Germany to rural Wisconsin in the late 1800's. As a child, I have fond memories of him playing it when I visited although he was no Jascha Heifetz. (Wisconsin 101)
