This photograph of the Joe Wheeler White Band of Hood County is displayed inside the historic Hood County Courthouse.There’s no written history beside it only the image. But those fiddles tell their own story. Courthouse gatherings. Community dances. Evenings when music drifted across the square.Can’t you almost hear them play? 🎻
