“Roscoe Got the Rabbit”
As promised ... this fiddle tune led by Annie Staninec was written by the legendary Southern California fiddler Dennis Fetchet, who says that the title has nothing to do with Kyle Creed’s tune “Roscoe” or any of the bluegrass/old time numbers about rabbits.
Years ago, Dennis had his eye on a new Volkswagon, and figured that the money he made playing at Magic Mountain for a summer would cover it. He claims to have played great during the audition, but lost the gig to another fiddler, named Roscoe Ray, who won because … he played “Orange Blossom Special” while lying on his back.
So … Roscoe got the rabbit!
