Julia Delaney's - The Fiddler of Pioneer Square

[sassylassy01]

I likethe way you shot this video. You showed were to put the fingers and that is, to me super helpful. I hope you do more videos this way. Perhapsyou can do "The Irish Washer Woman" and show where the fingers go. It is super helpful to beginners like me.

[UNCLEMOMMY]

this guy is a good fiddle player but i chased him down the street for buying dope in front of me.  can't stand junkies

[joyfulcjk]

the something mournful beginning at 3:10 is based on Summer Time . This guy is very good - from a fiddle player.

[gusthelesswise]

The first one was based on Julia Delaney, the third possibly on Midnight in Moscow. Don't know about the others

[Audnance]

I very rarely give money to street performers, but there was a guy playing some brilliantly atmospheric guitar music I saw recently and I gave him money. I'd give this guy money too. Talent should be rewarded, not mere nerve!

[WENDLEtheOWL]

Is anybody else hearing a transmuted 'Summertime' in the 'mournful' section...?

[3rdDerivative]

yeah, it does sound like that.

[diptanshu]

this is an awesome effort.... to capture street musicians.

[chansherly212]

wonderful! a moving portrait of sidewalk music, you captured it brilliantly ! love the black and white

[MissPickletoes]

Great music!!

[corimna]

There so much talented musicians in the streets.

[SW94929]

the first one I think is the Musical Priest. really different version though. Great video

that bit from 0:29-0:39 especially. I love how it's trad, but not really since it dips into a swing rhythm so often. This could be a new genre...Urban Irish Trad. UITM.

[SW94929]

have you heard A Celtic Tribute to Led Zepplin? a friend brought it to the ranch last weekend. There's a bunch of trad Irish tunes interspersed with LZ tunes being played on celtic instruments. it's great.
