Thread Name: intonation in fiddle music
Subject: RE: intonation in fiddle music
"... if you like the music listen to it, if you don't like it, DON'T listen to it, but quit trying to imply that everyone else that does like it is an idiot for not hearing it the way you do..."
Hopefully, that was aimed at the first person on this thread who took a childish swipe at Vassar Clements. The man was great and always will be.
Right now, I would say that Richard Greene has taken the place vacated by the late great Vassar. Since Greene is classically trained and prides himself on his perfect classical technique (while playing swing, Country and progressive music), most peolple on thihis thread will have no problem with Richard Greene's, at least not with his intonation.
