Mike Watson: Fiddling around There was a time when there were a lot of very old violins in prominent homes. This story tells of many in Adair, Cumberland, and Russell Counties, including some fiddles by an Italian, of Cremona, by the name of Antonius Stradivarius. History Cousin Mike Watson has delved deeply and diligently and has discovered some fascinating fiddle facts. Click on headline for complete story By Adair County Historian Mike Watson Once upon a time there was a search, of sorts, for the oldest fiddle in Kentucky. The short items below follow that search within the range of the Adair County News. In 1901 and for two year following, the pages of the News carried several short articles on the merits and ownership of noted and aged fiddles, or violins, as the case may be. It appears there were several long-lived ones in the county and environs, as evidenced below... Miss Dixon, mentioned in one of the items, played her violin regularly and on at least one occasion, entertained, along with others of like mind, in the Columbia Courthouse.
