@salmonfire , Hi Salmonfire. Thank you so much for your email. Just maybe some young people will watch Arm of Gold and see what a great person Lee was and make them want to do something too. The people of Eskasoni were so good to us. I hope this makes them proud of their community too.

Best wishes,

Rob (oke)

Respond to this video...cause those "Lil GeeGeeGee" he added, are actually 1/32 and 1/64 Notes, he was a Virtuoso, much Loved by me and my Family; and He used to come over and teach me Mi'kmaq, he had the vocabulary of the Old Language, i miss Him Dearly!

@salmonfire in other words he composed runs on the Violin that captured the rhythm of Black Ash "Rattle" called the Ji'kamaqn, and put it into the Scottish Jigs and Reels he loved. So these runs imitating the Rattle, are almost impossible to play on non-native instruments,

@oke1z Thank you Rob, i will have it played on our Community Channel, i want to share why Lee Harvey is so Special; Lee Harvey, was considered a Genius in the Music World, this is the documentary about his Journey to the World Fiddle Championships in Nashville, Tennessee; where he won the Title of ... Best Bow Arm in the World! What he did was to incorporate; or bring into; Traditional Aboriginal syncopation techniques>>>
