...... About HeaHeah
For
some peculiar reason, I have spent over 30 years recording, collecting,
and playing American old time fiddle and banjo music. It has been
a wonderful journey rich with historic melodies and songs that speak of
man's plight and his joy.
I have been fortunate
enough to play with wonderful people, both young and old. We have all shared
the passion for the original recording artists of the 1920's and have studied
their songs and tunes religiously. I know what Gid's voice sounds like
just like a friend's, after listening to his recordings countless times!
It is most entertaining to hear or read of the stories behind the music and
the artists whenever possible, but a lot is revealed in the skits and the
banter. They give us a more complete understanding of the times and the
personalities that shaped the 1920's.
I
hope to bring the music and the people behind the music alive for you in
these recordings and pages. I hope you enjoy the journey as well.
