Canadian Folk Song

[Thelyingcabbage]

Ah this is soo good! The old owen pallett..... He seems so much more serious now (not that it's a bad thing)

[yousoldtheworld]

Owen is from Canada, so if he calls it a Canadian folk song, I'm going with it.

One internet source saying such does not mean it's actually from Alaska.

Oh, I love this song. I think my Grandpa used to sing this one at campfires. He really like Canadian folk songs. His favorite was the Black Fly song. Good times.

damn he can play can't he

[fredroypoulin]

From wich province is the song from?

[mmmplee]

might this be a Stompin' Tom Connors song?

[mmmplee]

My mistake, it's called "When the Ice Worms Nest Again" and one Internet source traces it back to Alaska. It was re-recorded by Sharon, Lois, and Bram in 1992.

haha...he is awesome

[hellokitty1977]

It's a regular acoustic violin but he has a pickup clamped to the side of the fiddle. Then he's running the sound through pedals where he can record a loop or change the sound.

He's quite entertaining.

[ChorusHallelujah]

Is it an electric violin?

[aitee]

wow....i love this....

Agh. He's so cute.
