Met some fiddle heros! Beòlach from Cape Breton Nova Scotia.

Wendy MacIsaac is one of my original fiddle heros, and Màiri Rankin just has an incredibly smooth tone. Mac Morin the keyboard player reminds me of another player, Calum MacKenzie, from the Bay Street Sessions Album.

The best part was seeing them all interact and the dead-on timing. Love it all. #fiddle #beolach #roguefolk #folkvancouver

This is me testing the sharing of a PeerTube video on Mastodon. This is also me playing a fiddle tune from Kenny Baker a few years ago.

Possibly the best part of this whole Fediverse thing: you can follow a PeerTube account directly from a Mastodon account: try this one!sylbru.fiddletunes@makertube.net (copy the address in the search bar of Mastodon)

A very old cowboy song, recorded in the XXth by many great songsters. From what I read, it was known thanks to the memory a black singing cowboy, #CharleyWillis. Here's a collect from #AlanLomax in #Texas

Another very very very ol' song with no certain writer, "Froggy went-a-courting", mentioned BTW in the last album of #LanaDelRey in "Kintsugi". That 🐸 tune seems to be originated from XVIth century England/Scotland and was countlessly recorded in US music in folk, pop and... #Rockabilly !
