DeanC Art of the Folk Violin (13) RE: Art of the Folk Violin 13 Dec 01

I realized when I asked this question that it was a little silly since there are so many styles of folk violin. Here are a few of my picks.
Bluegrass - Kenny Baker, Mark O'Connor (though he has branched out considerably)
Canadian - Jean Carignan, Graham Townsend
Eastern European/Gypsy - Marco Dreyer (if you haven't heard Harmonia you need to - harmoniaband.com)
Irish/Celtic - Eugene O'Donnell (especially for his slow airs), Aly Bain Old Time - Jay Unger (I'm not sure where to put him)

I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now as well as categories I either haven't thought of or don't know about - Cajun, Mexican, etc.
