    p3g0 12 DURHAM - ITEM 8 DURHAM: THE TABLE IS NOW OVERFLOWING WITH FOOD, CHICKENS, HAMS, BEANS, FRUIT, ROLLS, GREENS, ETC* WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF CROWDS AND INTERCUT TO TITE CU OF FACES. THEY ARE TALKING, LAUGH- ING, AND BEATING TIME TO A FIDDLE WE HEAR. PAN TO DICKIE WRIGHT DOING A CLOG DANCE WITH HIS BROTHER. CUT TO: EDWIN BREWER WHO IS PLAYING THE FIDDLE. HE PLAYS FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS. FAKE AUDIO FOR NARRA- TOR. GARROWAY: (OR LOCAL NARRATOR): ...They say, "Sister may have, brother may have. But blessed be the man that has his own. Sister say ?╟╓Dip ini?╟╓, brother say ?╟╓Dip ini?╟╓ but if you got your own you dip in twice a day if you want to," So dip in to the spread layed out for this Sunday frolic in the tobacco country. But not before you earned it, not before you sing for your supper. Ed Brewer is not an old man but he plays an old time fiddle. Lika his father?╟╓s before him, that fid- dle is tuned to the old scale of only five tones. And the song brings you back to old Scotland and Bonnie Prince Charles, Like all real folk tunes, they are handed down the road of living.
