Fiddle Riddle - Denis Farley

Fiddle Riddle 2:40 Denis Farley - Pouring Rain Music BMI

Recorded 7/85 LIttle Big Horn Studio, New York City; Dave Rimiles - acoustic guitar & violin. Just don't remember the engineer or the drummer way down in the mix. Denis - vocals. Remixed at Scott Petito's NRS Studio in West Hurley, NY sometime later. Scott also played bass and engineered.

I saw Dave play violin in Miami with the Bobby Rodriguiz Band at the Calle Ocho Festival and hired him to play on a demo of this "swing" tune I was recording on my home tape player. Later in NY I called Dave at his home in New Jersey to come out and try to make a "real" recording of the "Fiddle Riddle." Scott Petito had been with a band called Dry Jack, a kind of out Jazz Band that did very well by Scott. My friend, Ken Segal had also toured with the band as an opening act, doing stand up comedy. I met these guys independently of each other, Ken in Miami in '76 and then low and behold, here I'm running into the very band that my friend had toured with . . . kismet.
