GUEST,Arnie | Creating modern traditional music (37) | RE: Creating modern traditional music | 24 Oct 03 |
One of my current favorite recordings is a CD called "Fresh Canadian Fiddle Tunes" all composed by Brian Pickell - an amazing collection with some of the finest fiddle and backup I have ever heard. I have no doubt that some of his tunes will be played for many years by fiddle players and become part of the traditional repetoire. Canadians involved in trad music often naturally make up tunes on an ongoing basis keeping the music alive. My friends Jim Childress and Pete Vigour from Virinia have composed some really great tunes and I myself make up clawhammer banjo tunes and have recorded some of those. |
