General Note
Mr. Seaman played "old time" fiddle. He once led a band called "South Line Trailriders". Seaman grew up in Kissimmee. He moved to Jacksonville in 1922 and spent his life working for the railroads. Musically, he often played at square dances and made money during the Depression by playing his fiddle.
