  "lineage": "Virtuosic fiddle style shaped by the fiddle contests of Texas and the Southwest, whose first landmark on record was Eck Robertson's 1922 Victor recording of 'Sallie Gooden', and which Benny Thomasson, Major Franklin and their contemporaries developed into an elaborated contest repertoire in the mid-20th century, kept up at contests such as the Hallettsville fiddlers' frolics. Breakdowns, hornpipes, waltzes and rags are played with long, smooth bow strokes and many varied passes through each strain, backed by a guitarist playing closed, swing-derived chord shapes and moving bass runs.",
