I knew a young Welsh lass from the valleys and an old Highlander could make some great ‘mountain music’ together.

Tenor banjos are great. You can see mine in this video - it's a 1925 Gibson TB-JR. Banjos are a bit in-your-face, though, and don't suit all kinds of music. A guitar is a more flexible instrument, and can contribute to an arrangement in so many different ways!
Contra dancing with Jody Kruskal, Michael Goren and Chris Murphy..

I'm looking forward to this month's meeting of the Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society in Oshawa Ontario on Sunday January 19.
Here's a silly polka fiddle tune. A Beadle is a British local official.
Here's a fiddle tune that I wrote during the Pandemic, in response to a challenge to members of our local fiddle jam, who suddenly had a lot of time on their hands.
Another fiddle tune - this one named for my local township.
