Here & Now‘s Peter O’Dowd speaks with San Antonio-based fiddle player Belen Escobedo about the old-style barn dance music her grandfather taught her to play. Escobedo says when she plays the old songs nowadays, it makes men cry because they remember how their fathers taught them, too.

Lynn Menegon produced and edited this interview for broadcast with Todd Mundt. James Trout mixed it for broadcast.
