Well, then there's Sweet Honey in the Rock, the United States Military Academy Band, Staff Sgt. Steve Luck and Rufus Wainwright sings with the McGarrigles. Aw, and then there is Jay Ungar and Molly Mason with Fiddle Fever. Now I love what they can do with fiddles. Everything they've ever done. I love Ashokan Farewell and play it for folks almost everytime they ask for it. But I sure won't if the time is 1860 something and somebody is standing there with a camcorder! I'm not goin' to help spread this idea that the tune was around then. But it's a great tune. There. Now that's everone on that CD. I didn't leave anyone out. I'll hush now.
