On Calvin Vollrath Métis Style Fiddle 1st track (See Link below)

Re: help!

On Second thoughts it sounds more like track 11 - Old Reel of 8

Catail:

Many thanks, definitely Old Reek Of 8, I would agree.

It being Canada and a trad fest, a Metis tune would be in the order of the day, eh?
:-)

Thanks again.

Re: help!

I heard a recording of Dolores Keane playing it with either B. McComisky, or J. Whelan on box.

It was a Green Linnet compilation set from years ago.

Searching...

Thank you.

Got it.
Wonderful fiddling,
wonderful fiddler.

I am thinking about his tunebook and CD set.
By ear is the rule, but having the notes can speed your assimilation.

Right, Michael?
