Money Musk gives me goose bumps. Glad to hear Nils sing it like Dudley! I got to dance it the other night withDudley's sister and Dudley calling, Kind of a little high for me... These are some of my favorite dance musicians... nice job...
Thomas Jefferson did not particularly like "popular music" but "Money Musk" was his favorite song. So much so that he transcribed it and played it himself on the fiddle. It later became the signature song of his son, Eston Hemings, also a fiddler whose mother was Sally Hemings. Eston Hemings later became a well known Ohio bandleader under the name of E.H. Jefferson.
Excellent vid! I love contradance, and Money Musk is just a superb tune. I'm amazed at how talented and right-on the musicians are. Thanks so much for posting this video. I shall definitely check out the other offerings from Epsilon Films! Really beautiful music on this one .....

Sometimes I miss it- as when I see something like this great clip. But Ireland isn't so bad either....
