MissouriMud RIP: Garry Harrison -Midwest fiddle Icon (6) RIP: Garry Harrison -Midwest fiddle Icon 06 Sep 12


Garry Harrison - Illinois/Indiana fiddler, instrument maker, composer and collector of midwest Old Time music died unexpectedly in his sleep at age 58 early this week. He was a member of the Indian Creek Delta Boys (of the 1970s and 80s) and the New Mules (who won best trad band at Clifftop in 2008); recorded numerous cds; co-wrote a wonderful collection of local tunes and songs called "Dear Old Illinois"; and was involved in countless other projects to educate the public on the rich musical heritage of his home.   One of the midwest's premier Old Time fiddlers and great overall musician, he was a huge influence on countless midwest (and broader) Old Time devotees- He will be sorely missed.
