Thread Name: Ned Landry 90! Canuck fiddler.
Subject: RE: Ned Landry 90! Canuck fiddler.
I checked out that YT link, m. That's okay fer "generic NA" radio and TV type stuff but what I know him for is his Acadian and "dirty" Maritime Celtic type fiddling. Those styles are why he won so many championships... besides the three I mentioned above... and why he had such a great and varied career.

PS... maybe I shouldn't say this, but, that YT video really sucks compared to what I have seen him do. It's like bubblegum radio without soul made to appease some radio exec who thinks that is what the audience wants. It's good but it's no where near what Ned does best. And, when he does, he ain't wearin no cowboy hat. Sorry to dis that style but I just don't like it compared to the other more "earthy" styles that resonate from my ancestors.
