He always made it sound so easy! And sooo beautiful. I've head a lot of great fiddlers and Jerry was truly the best, in my opinion. I used to sit with him in sheer amazement in Port Townsend, WA at the fiddle festivals in the 80's...wishing I could make my fiddle sound like that. Never did, but I had some fun trying.
Here is a young Jerry Holland on playing the best rendition I heard of this mighty fine tune "Paddy's Trip to Scotland."
Wow, what clarity and precision like a fine jeweller with the touch of a feather.
Hey poster k4hx1 you are rad. I just found your first Ceilidh clip an hour ago and your new postings keep showing up. Makes me want to stay up all night hoping you post a whole library of Cape Breton and vicinty fiddling. Thanks, Bravo.
