Trivia
For music the film credits Neal Hoffman for "Appalachian Dulcimer Duets" and Mark Nelson for "Fiddle Tunes for Dulcimer." It's not clear whether they are the composers, the performers or both.

Alternate versions
The version available on video has added color footage of Marvin Breckinridge who narrates the silent footage which also contains titles. It's hard to tell what the 59-minute original film looked like, but this 28-minute documentary contains some stunning tinted and toned film.
