Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
Born in 1925 in Adams County, Indiana, fiddle player Francis Geels grew up with music in his home. On both sides of his family, old-time music and country square dancing were weekly events. He played for house and barn dances for many years until country square dancing began to wane. He and his wife have 17 children, 39 grandchildren and about 20 great-grandchildren. He plays on the same fiddle he bought from Montgomery Ward catalog before he was married; he has had to replace 3 fingerboards over the years. I am priviledged to have played this tune with him at a bluegrass festival on Memorial Day weekend in Kendallville, Ind.

Wow, he is as old as my father - and he is still fiddling! I hope to follow his example.
