Trade Review
The story of Ole Hendricks provides a valuable and grounded glimpse of music and social life in rural America in the nineteenth century, bringing into focus the long-overlooked importance of commonplace books-that is, handwritten music notebooks-in the performance and preservation of traditional music." - Paul Tyler, Old Town School of Folk Music

"A thorough personal history that brings to light a previously little-known musician, Norwegian American fiddler Ole Hendricks. This excellent, well-rounded introduction makes both this history, as well as his tunebook, available for readers and musicians." - Laura Ellestad, University of South-Eastern Norway
