  • One of my favourite fiddlers. Along with Richard Wood from P.E.I. (Canada)

  • Great impromptu performance. Mr. Ungar does a superb job of mocking the mockmanbird. (Private joke) I had a mockingbird that visited the light post outside my bedroom window every night around 1 AM and would proceed to sing his entire repertoire ending with the melodious beep beep beep of the backup alarm from a trash truck. I moved back to the country. I have missed that bird more than words can tell.

  • Beautiful

  • If there really is a Heaven, then Abe, Alice, and Septimus must all be

    listening with great enjoyment.

    Thanks for the nostalgic post.

  • Hey, Moe! Hey, Larry!  Abe Lincoln stole our theme song. Nyuk, Nyuk.

  • I love this one...find myself re-listening every time I'm "here".
