• The long-awaited sequel to Sprout Wings and Fly (Les Blank’s first film about this homegrown Appalachian fiddler and raconteur) is a gentle celebration of mountain living, a once-thriving American way of life. This portrait showcases Tommy’s unpretentious folk wisdom and reminiscences. The soundtrack features his singing and fiddling, spiced with a visit to the Smithsonian to test-drive an authentic Stradivarius violin. This film is included on the Sprout Wings And Fly DVD  and the Always For Pleasure Box Set by Criterion.

A Film by Les Blank, Cece Conway, Alice Gerrard, and Maureen Gosling
