Many of you know "Long Night" is one of my favs, as is the story of why the song was written (Upon the death of Emile Benoit, the song was written in 20 minutes. You tube his name and check out the fiddle tunes... Jackatar French from Newfoundland and the tunes are fantastic. I believe he was 83 when he recorded his last album.)

Well, I just found a YT vid of Rawlin's Cross playing "Reel and Roll" live in St. John's. I thought I would share it. It doesn't hold a candle to Long Night but it's pretty good.
