January 7, 2023. Just heard Vivian has passed away. This is very sad. Vivian was a very good person, as was Phil. Vivian was an encyclopedia of fiddling knowledge, knew the complete history of tunes, who wrote it, when, and the other names the tune went by.
First heard Vivian and Phil Williams back in high school in the late 60's in Seattle when they were in the Tall Timber Boys band (later Tall Timber String Band). I fell in love with bluegrass and later also with fiddle tunes.
This is the most comforting and beautiful music on you tube. Thank you so much for posting. All I need is a bow and I'm ready to try a song for my bucket list. The rest of my bucket list is 10 songs .. maybe even 30!!
Legendary! My first old time playing was out of "Mandolin Players Pastime" and "Pleasures of Home" so it is great to hear you two play. I feel like I've known you for years.
What you've titled "Rice Draw" is actually "Rye Straw" :-) the tune is actually a song that has scatological lyrics (because the unfortunate dog ate the straw and had digestion issues). That is as delicately as I can phrase it, hee hee. Thanks for posting this.
I love how UA-cam always brings me back here eventually...
