The Arizona Old Time Fiddlers Association is a non-profit organization whose objective is to preserve, promote and perpetuate the art of old time fiddling, to encourage all people, young and old, to develop their musical talents and afford them opportunities to perform in public, to hold jam sessions and other musical events, for the members own enjoyment and to educate the public on the values of old time fiddling. And to brighten and improve the lives of "shut-ins" and other needy people, by furnishing musical entertainment and performing other charitable, civic and community services.
The association was formed at Payson, Arizona in September of 1975.
The incorporators were Jay Belt, Richard Thomas and H. B. McCloud.
The membership is open to everyone. We especially encourage the younger people to join and learn the art of old time fiddling.
