Reel 87, Item 6
The Orange Blossom Special
(This must be a comparatively new "fiddle tune," since the "Orange
Blossom Special" on either the Southern or the Seaboard Airlines is one
of the fast passenger trains between New York and Miami. To the
best of my recollection, it goes back no farther than the"Florida Boom"
of the twenties. The music, however, has the right old-time flavor. MCP)
