Hulda Quebe plays Sally Goodin' with Joey McKenzie & Mark Abbott

[hemidactylusk]

I remember Mark playing fiddle in the back of a pick-up truck in high school during breaks and marching band practice. Why does he always play in the back of a truck. Great clip.

[gfwtgfwt]

going on 200 times to listen to this. (but I haven't really been counting... 300?)

[gfwtgfwt]

All of them..... MERC

[Wanderer123]

Great playing, sweet smile...

[epmer31]

Great, all three. 

[Schillingsanders]

Dear Hulda, Mark and Joey! Clap your feet, stomp your hands and push the feller in front of ya!

[VintageTrax]

Definitely one of the best versions of this tune I ever heard!

[Elgatoviejo]

@VintageTrax Yeah, she hits all the classic riffs. Great playing and only about 15 at the time, wow.

[Schillingsanders]

Dear sisters, brothers and others! Should i sell my instruments and take a work? All the very, very best from Andy from Sweden!

[straightupwv]

I love the stacks of electronic gear behind three acoustic instruments playing the sweetest music. They render all that stuff useless. How old was Hulda when this was recorded? She looks so young!

[MrGreychampion]

@straightupwv 14 I think

[hawaiiandobroblues]

Love it. Reminds me a bit of the version done on the 1975 JD Crowe and The New South album???

[TTexas2]

WOW! Never heard it played so well, with such feeling and style. Hulda you are a bright shing STAR ♪ ☆☆☆☆☆ ♬

[ViolinsOverViolence]

Is there a transcription of this version available?

Thanks

[dellanmetoud]

Note To World:

Should need arise for tangible description in support of the word "heart," -please listen to this piece of work and refer to the look on her face upon completion. The talent has broken the inner barriers and the circuits have connected. The driving force? The same five-letter word. Hope For America starts with a wordless personal commitment, and there be no stronger weapon than music born of love.

Thank you Joey and Hulda.

Very nice Joe! Shame we didn't get that Jam on in Liverpool! Those lasses are too good... See you down the road... ;-)

[cheese699]

Like, 14 or 15 and shredding! Joey looks pretty proud of his protege.

[mtnredhead1960]

awesome

[swingitjack]

Some slap-bass playing would go nicely with this tune...

[gwaltneydan]

Love it!!!! I have played this a hundred times!! BOOM!!! (I own the word Boom in any form or fashion by the way!) Love you gals...and guys!! Boom!!!

[hemi455]

Aha... so THAT's what John Denver was referring to in 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy" -

"Well, I'd play 'Sally Goodin' all day, if I could,

but the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good"

[TheHankSinatra]

I'll tell you what.

What we're hearing is a link to the past.

In the early 1970's, Texas fiddle legend Benny Thomasson moved to the Pacific Northwest for a spell, where he, his son Dale (on guitar) and I (on bass) barnstormed all over the region, playing in every school auditorium and grange hall that would have us.

Listening to this, I'm taken back 40 years when Benny, Dale, Jerry, and I played this tune. Hulda and Joey, you do a perfect job in capturing Benny's sound.

He'd be so proud.

[TheHankSinatra]

(ran out of room, so here's the rest...)

Joey McKenzie grew up in Oregon, and spent a lot of time with Benny, learning his style and eventually becoming a champion fiddler in his own right.

Now Joey's passing this legacy down to the Quebe sisters and others.

Benny first learned these tunes from Eck Robertson and other fiddle legends, so we're hearing musical history here, nearly undiluted by time and distance.

[capitalismforme]

@TheHankSinatra Benny competed against Eck Robertson, he didn't learn these songs from him. Benny learned most of these songs from his dad.

[robbourassaguitarist]

Smokin' Hulda. Great rhythm too Joey.

[pogofiddle]

Hope I can see you in person somtime.. great playing!!!!!!!

[brknbilinc]

[dgtxdutch]

[radioman53]

Excellent! Very good job.

[Ork1958]

What is amazing is, she was only 15 and had been playing fiddle only about 5 years...you ought to hear her now...
