I'll tell you what. What we're hearing is a link to the past. In the early 1970's, Texas fiddle legend Benny Thomasson moved to the Pacific Northwest for a spell, where he, his son Dale (on guitar) and I (on bass) barnstormed all over the region, playing in every school auditorium and grange hall that would have us. Listening to this, I'm taken back 40 years when Benny, Dale, Jerry, and I played this tune. Hulda and Joey, you do a perfect job in capturing Benny's sound. He'd be so proud.
I remember Mark playing fiddle in the back of a pick-up truck in high school during breaks and marching band practice. Why does he always play in the back of a truck. Great clip.
(ran out of room, so here's the rest...) Joey McKenzie grew up in Oregon, and spent a lot of time with Benny, learning his style and eventually becoming a champion fiddler in his own right. Now Joey's passing this legacy down to the Quebe sisters and others. Benny first learned these tunes from Eck Robertson and other fiddle legends, so we're hearing musical history here, nearly undiluted by time and distance.
Wow, think I'm in love! Never heard a fiddle I enjoyed more...and I always thought my favorite instrument was the steel guitar. Thanks for sharing. Have to buy me some QSB now!!!
I love the stacks of electronic gear behind three acoustic instruments playing the sweetest music. They render all that stuff useless. How old was Hulda when this was recorded? She looks so young!
Aha... so THAT's what John Denver was referring to in 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy" - "Well, I'd play 'Sally Goodin' all day, if I could, but the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good"

This was always one of my grandpa's favorite fiddle tunes. I sure wish he was alive to hear this cause Hulda just plays the fire out of it!!
WOW! Never heard it played so well, with such feeling and style. Hulda you are a bright shing STAR ♪ ☆☆☆☆☆ ♬
Howdy girls, Love the music! I play bluegrass banjo so I can relate to this song very well! Awesome recording!
