Gilles Apap country music

[ukebowie]

It's actually Old Timey Music. Traditional Southern Style.

[Violinjunky]

The last and third is the standard Sally Goodin..I think the first two he may be doing variations on Sally but not sure, sounds like it....often fiddlers will change up a standard bluegrass piece by changing the key or throwing a little something else in...

[Violinjunky]

This isn't country music...it's blue grass, and he's fantastic at it...better than a lot of the American blue grass fiddlers.

[Moygen]

such a fantastic player. God bless him

Dance-dance!!!

Amazing, who knows what he is singing?

The second tune is Cumberland Gap. One of the verses he sings is

"save up money and buy me a farm

raise sweet 'taters long as your arm." There are many other verses.

These tunes may be played by bluegrass bands, but they are pre-bluegrass, old-time fiddle tunes. (and he plays them amazingly, whatever the label)

Irish!

I love Gilles Apap. Does anybody have any videos of him playing with "The mountain Boys" I had a recording but I lost it. I saw them live and would really like to find a CD or tape of them. I went to his website a while back and could not find anything but classical.I enjoy his classical music but also really like his "country music". Thanks
