Storm’s blowing in, so I’m sitting inside listening to Cape Breton fiddle to perk up a Friday afternoon. The Beaton Family, Rachel Davis, Natalie McMaster, the MacGillivray’s, Chrissy Crowley - there are so many awesome fiddlers preserving #NovaScotia and #CapeBretonIsland musical traditions. The recently concluded #CelticColours festival across the Island is the greatest #Celtic music festival in N. America imo. Here’s a sample of the Beaton Sisters performing at the Celtic Colours afterparty at St. Anne’s Gaelic College (the only one in N. America). #music #Fiddle #FolkMusic #Canada https://youtu.be/xCSk5waVkxI?si=HJHGpgGda5pPDs9t

Got two #FolkwaysRecords releases today at Vintage Vinyl, a new record shop in downtown #Sarasota. They also had a very cool Leadbelly 10” that I decided to leave behind.

I always thought Folkways was a project of the #Smithsonian but it only became that when the original owner of the label, Moses Asch, died in 1986. I wonder why I’ve heard more about John & Allan Lomax and Harry Smith than him? It really was genius to think to record all of these different types of #FolkMusic in their original settings so that we can have that window into the past for posterity. #Leadbelly #vinyl
