The recordings on the album are clearly *very* live, with cicadas in the background and everything. Which really works here.
Very nice collection all around, must listen for all #Fiddle and #Banjo / #Americana listeners!

A bit of the "old stuff" from our playlist, which we played at the Welcome Spring Fair in Hranice, Czech Republic. This jig was collected by James Goodman in the 1860s.// Ukázka ze „starých kousků“, které jsme zahráli na Vítání jara v Hranicích. Tento jig zapsal sběratel James Goodman v 60. letech 19. století.

My name is Karl and this is my #introduction. I've just joined courtesy of installing #Vivaldi browser and finding a pointer to here. With everything that's going on in the world I am less inclined to be connected to Facebook, Instagram and the like, or to share my data so widely. I've reduced my exposure... Deleting other social media apps - although not *everything* yet - Starting here; Setting up a #blog at https://gentlemenjoyfully.com (that name was the random name given to my Gravatar homepage). I just liked it and thought perhaps it could inspire a way of looking at things, so I adopted it for my blog page.
I work in technical sales for #RedHat an IT #Software company, and in my spare time I like to play and sing. I play #fiddle, #guitar(s) and accordion.. though mostly fiddle. I also love #dogs, and #walking in the #countryside, and #ClassicCars and #Motorcycles. To stay #healthy I like #running, #walking and doing #yoga mostly.
"You're So Pretty When You Cry" - a newly released lil old-timey country song I recorded as a duet with my friend Shannon Hynes.
Please give it a spin/add to a playlist

Musical Interlude: One of the artists I saw this past weekend at the Old Time Music Festival was Jamie Fox (one x), an Indigenous fiddler from Montana, who taught us all a bit about the Old Time Music tradition in Indigenous communities...I mean, they absorbed a lot from us musically as well. She identifies as Métis, meaning a mixture of European and Indigenous cultures and ancestry, although here in the US she's identified as a certain tribe by the government.
Anyway, here's a nice video where she introduces herself and performs a few pieces. Listen and learn.
"White Buffalo," "Cut Knife Hill," and "Empty Canoe," performed by Jamie Fox.
Listening to this while making a sandwich, I couldn’t help starting to dance. It’s Tom Moore and Archie Moss’s “Pop One”.
Which means that for the first time in aages it is #TuneswapTuesday - has anyone else got a #FolkTune they’d like to share?

there are now two dozen violins in my #PirateLuthier logbook. Eight of them are in house and ready to play so if anybody in #Oxford needs to borrow a #fiddle (good enough for #folk or amateur #orchestra) do get in touch. (bows and cases are limited, so will be easier to help out ppl who still have those eg because their #violin broke)
