Alvidine and Sandy at the 4
th
of July Celebration in Modesto in 1952
Sandy returned to the fiddle contest in Modesto in 1952, where he defended his first
place title. It was at that year’s competition where he and Alvidine first teamed up to
perform together publicly. Alvis joined in on the guitar, and the crowd fell in love with
the family act.
