I can't imagine a worse punishment than being in a room with that many fiddles all playing at once, not necessarily the same thing.

Something tells me , Sherry, that you’ve had negative experiences with fiddle players… ;-)

I love the rhythm and drive of Quebecois fiddle -- and the moreso when them b'ys get their boots a-stomping, sort of like seated John Hartfords. As with any kind of good music, it's all about the groove.

Natalie MacMaster doesn't take a back seat to anyone when it comes to foot-stompin'

I would FAR rather be in a room with that many fiddle players than that many dobro players. wink

As for the vid and the playing: Brilliant, no. But fun, yes And it does speak to a universal quality of this music.

Oh, by the way - Cape Breton is a magical place. So magical you might even find Bela Fleck providing the rhythm section for a fiddler as wonderful as McMaster.

Speaking of universiality...

Natalie is the niece of the legendary Cape Breton fiddler Buddy MacMaster.

I can assure you that I've been called far worse.
