Sprout Wings and Fly (1983)
Set in the North Carolina Appalachians, Sprout Wings and Fly honors the fiddle playing of 82-year-old Tommy Jarrell of Toast, NC. Tommy was quirky, gregarious and generous, and this film shows him at his best, in fine fiddling form.
Directors: Alice Gerrard, Les Blank, Cece Conway.
