Canray Fontenot
Canray Fontenot (October 16,〔Savoy 1984, p. 329.〕 1922 - July 29, 1995〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20070928005124/http://www.arhoolie.com/titles/381.shtml )〕) was an American Creole fiddle player, who has been described as "the greatest black Louisiana French fiddler of our time."
==Early life==
Canray Fontenot was born in L'anse Aux Vaches, near Basile, Louisiana〔 (or l'Anse des Rougeaux, Louisiana, an unincorporated community outside Eunice, Louisiana); however his family was from Duralde, Louisiana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NEA National Heritage Fellowships: Canray Fontenot )〕 Fontenot, who grew up working on a family farm, inherited his musical skills from his parents, who played accordion; his father Adam, known as "Nonc Adam", played with Amédé Ardoin.〔 Canray first played a cigar-box fiddle that had strings taken off the screen door of his home. His bow was made from the branches of pear trees and sewing thread.
:Canray stated ''"So, we took some cigar boxes,"'' he said. ''"In those days, cigar boxes were made of wood. So, we worked at it and finally made ourselves a fiddle. For our strings, we had no real strings ... we took strands off the screen door. We made fiddles out of that stuff, and then we started practicing."'' Fontenot visited a neighbor ''"to see how he tuned his fiddle. He would sound a string, and then I would try mine, but I couldn't go as high as his fiddle; every time I tried to match his pitch, I'd break a string.... But then when he would break a string, I would take the longest end. Then my fiddle sounded pretty good. And that's how I learned. It's just a matter of having music on your mind."'' 〔
