[dcab-l] Fast Fiddle: Soldier's Joy & Listen to the Mockingbird

Music Lovers:

 

Here’s another live cut from the Appalachian Jubilee, featuring Dan Cassidy on the fiddle.  (Many

listeners around the world may know his famous sister, singer Eva Cassidy.  Very musical family!)

 

This cut starts with "Soldier's Joy",  then morphs  into "Listen to the Mockingbird",  a song by

Septimus Winner, written in 1855.  Dan uses Mockingbird to display his fiddling prowess,

offering the live audience various fiddling delights, at dive-bomb speed.  If you listen, he brings

the audience to applause during one of his motifs.

 

Rattlesnake Hill used an electric bass player from a country band that night, along with Warren

Reeder chopping the dobro; I held down the Martin.

 

For those of you who remember Dan, he has moved to Iceland, where he is playing with another

British country band, and a "Hot Club" gypsy-jazz band.

 

As always, headphones preferred!  Click:
