During the festival in Berkeley I also had an opportunity to play fiddle with some really great folks. Here I am playing with Maxine (from Oakland) and Edwin (from Huntsville, AL). in the band contest. The videos are pretty rough (almost 'bigfoot' quality) but the sound comes through. I learned these tunes from recordings of West Virginia fiddler, Bill Iman. The video above is of us playing 'Ragged Shirt' and the one below a tune called 'Stony Point'.
I found some freeware video editing software and so was finally able to reduce the size/length of this video so that it could be posted. Here Lena and I sing in our old apartment in Chicago. This is an all-time favorite of mine!
