Thread Name: Swedish travel and music for Casey
Subject: RE: Swedish travel and music for Casey
I am a member of the Northen California Spelmanslag,
which is an old timey music organization. Their web
site is the best resource i can think of for things
musical in Sweden. And in this country too. they can be found here:
Nor. Cal. Spelmanslag
and here is a place to find out about hardanger fiddle
playing not exactly swedish, it is norwegian, and not
exactly fiddle as it is a different instrument, but
lovely. I hear they palyed hardanger fiddles as they skiied
down the mt. in the opening ceremonies of the Lillehammer
Olympics.Hardanger Fiddle Site
nd here is another link-you may need to translate it
and it applies mostly to nyclekharpa which is the instrument
i am interested in...but you might find some fiddle info here:
