Day 28 - Black Mountain Rag - Patti Kusturok's 365 Days of Fiddle Tunes

This tune was taught to me by Winston Simpson many years ago. It's got the C#-A-E-A tuning. I'm flying solo on this one. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for watching!

If you could see me right now I am on my knees with arms outstretched before me, bowing reverently and repeatedly in the direction of Manitoba. Patti, you are the absolute master of the fiddle, and I and others like me are in jaw-dropped awe of your talent. Thank you so much for the multitude of fiddle tunes you've posted here on UA-cam, they are a treasure not only for Canada but for all of North America and fiddle music lovers the world over.

Wow, that’s some pretty nice words. Thank you so very much. :)

[@nateherman8804]

Thanks so much. This is great. So clean and precise.

Great tune... you are soooo relaxed when you play... guess that's the secret, seen you first in Pembroke.. took my fiddler friend 3 yrs in a row now who just turned 80 last year... still playing...

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Ahhh Pembroke....it’s been way too long since I was able to be there. I’ll have to go again soon. :)

What a find your channel is; you may heve re-ignited my interest in fiddle(retired with nerve injury). Truly eclectic selection of tunes really well played...thank you !

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Thanks very much, Max. I’m happy to hear you’re hoping to get back at playing. :)

[@maxcuthbert100]

Might need carpal tunnel surgery/steroid injections.I tend to stay away from listening to fiddle and just play guitar(which doesn't stir it up so badly)otherwise it's a form of slow torture! Keep it up Patti!
