One of the most bizarre stories in all of popular music is the history of "Orange Blossom Special," arguably the century’s best-known fiddle tune. The man credited with its ownership, Ervin T.

The protagonist, Precious Orchid, had many adventures both inside and outside the prostitution house, Peach Blossom pavilion. After her father was executed fo
