Neil Lowe improvising folk, blues, jazz etc. (27) RE: improvising folk, blues, jazz etc. 08 Oct 99


j0 77...and can pick phenomenally, too. I relish seeing the visible transformation of someone - thinking only Itzhak Perlman types can play violin - who for the first time hears a fiddler in overalls and workboots who looks like he just finished plowing forty acres of red clay (and probably just did) play "Orange Blossom Special" at breakneck speed. Whatever false perceptions of mountain folk they held are lost and irretrievable.

Regards, Neil (with a nod to that "Dueling Banjos" scene in "Deliverance")
