Black Creek Fiddler Reunion - Bonneparte Crossing the Rhine

Here are the few photos we took on a recent weekend in NY. The music and the atmosphere brings us back each year. The music is old time country. I hope that you enjoy the slides and music (Bonneparte Crossing the Rhine).

What tune is this? It's very infectious.

The tune is called "Bonneparte Crossing the Rhine". We had never talked about whether to play the A and B parts once or twice through each round. We never really got it together until well into the tune....we just adapted as we went along. I also think it is an uplifting melody. Thanks.

great tune and very nice version. i can hear that twangy jaw harp too. great stuff. those festivals a really a lot of fun to go to over the summer. i used to go to the brandywine ol time festival in woodstown new jersey before my present schedule prevents me from getting down that way.

this festival looks like a great one to though. thanks for posting.

This is also one of my very favorite tunes. I play it a little slower and you might enjoy my two finger style of interpretation.

Keep playing, it sounds really GREAT!

Glad to see you got your editing software sorted out Larry - nice video - and possibly my favourite tune of all time!
