fernando Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Very nice Dick! I liked the video, and the one where you play the fiddle it's very good as well!. From the latter, I recognised the last tune, I suppose it's french canadian because It is in one of the cds of La Bouttine Souriante.

Ptarmigan Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi What is a Canacott Jeffries? Richard Sorry Richard, I was probably being a bit obtuse there. The fact is, my Jeffries was bought originally by Albert Canacott in June 1899. He died in the early 50s & his Jeffries passed first to his Son & then his Grandson, neither of whom played it, so you may say that in 111 years it had one careful owner. I was only the 2nd person ever to pay money for it & /or play it, as I bought it only recently, from Tony, his Grandson. As for the Fiddle video Fernando, yes, that's where Ciaran first heard that great tune. Cheers, Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
