This is the kind of fiddling that takes me back... driving through the country in CB, visiting freinds and relations in kitchens throughout "God's country"! Great fiddling! Nice to catch this on video!
I absolutely idolize Willie K's music. He exemplifies the old style, traditional, Gaelic way of playing. Willie plays totally by ear, doesn't read music at all, and yet posesses an unbelievable number of tunes, especially older and more obscure tunes. The way he can ornament a tune is just amazing, he can put in a cutting with no effort at all. And if you think this is good, you should hear old tapes of him 20 years ago, as powerful as they come.
Just had a session with Willie et al at the hospital in Inverness. Was a great afternoon.
