Hugh remained with them until 1958; Karl was appearing on stage in concert with the Pioneers at the time of his death in 1961. From the mid-thirties to the late-forties, the Farr Brothers were trend setters — Hugh on the fiddle. Karl on the guitar. Hugh's fiddling has many of the earmarks or his native Texas fiddle style, but with noticeable overtones of the hot jazz fiddle popularized in the '30s by Joe Venuti, Stephane Grappelly.
