My GPS had no idea how to handle the little back roads, and I ended up driving through Fiddletown, and pulled over when I saw the 20-foot fiddle on its community center. I heard they had a yearly Fiddler's Jam, so I had to go back.
PS -- my recorder pooped out on me this day so the whole thing was captured on iPhone. Terrifying.
