		<description><![CDATA[Okay, this is what it’s all about, the music! It’s not easy to
define Old-time music but you sort of know it when you hear it. And
it’s not possible to describe the music without inserting some of
its history. As Mark Humphrey suggests, we may interpret Old-time
music as hopelessly outdated but deeply authentic music
(http://www.oldtimemusic.com/otdef.html). You can find even more
discussions and perceptions of Old-time music from several Internet
web sources (see our Links page) and most have a little different
twist to what Old-time music is about. But here, we’ll try to give
our perception of what it is, though it may differ from others.

First, it’s not Country and it’s not Bluegrass although each of
these styles evolved to some extent out of Old-time music. During the
1920’s through the 1940’s, the media industry began to bring
“Hill Music” to the American people through the radio and record
industry and the music was called “Hillbilly” music. Mountain
musicians were sought under the pretense that this is where the old
traditional folk music was best preserved. Truth is, during the
decades following the Civil War, this music was spread far and wide
across North America. The term Old-time really came about as one
recording company used the term to identify the music and musicians of
rural mountainous areas who began to play on radio and record their
music. It was a euphemism for "Hillbilly" and readily accecpted by the
old timers.  As this style of music gave way to the development and
sounds of Country and Bluegrass, Jazz, and Blues, Old-time became less
popular to the masses but retained its vitality among its players and
singers. During the 1960’s, Old-time music began a revival that has
continued to thrive and has seen the resurgence of Old-time string
bands, festivals, magazines, instructional camps, books, videos, etc.
not only in North America but worldwide.]]></description>
