I really love these PEI and maritime province fiddlers. She does an excellent job with this tune. I am saddened however seeing all that rosin on the fiddle. Rosin left on a fiddle destroys the varnish and will eventually be detrimental to it's sound.
if i'm not mistaken, it's a song written in memoriam of the fiddler's son, who hanged himself because he never found peace in being accepted as a gay man. I used to listen to this with my grandmother and flip the cassette back and forth. made more legible and large font symbols so she could do it after we left. she still couldn't figure it out. bless her soul. an old pei farmer. rest in peace grandma, and this fiddler's son.
I've no idea why it has taken three years for an answer, but the tune was composed by the late Jerry Holland Jr. and is called "In Memory of Herbie MacLeod" (or "Memories of Herbie MacLeod" by some accounts).
A fantastic Oldtime fiddler! Wow!
What wonderful energy she brings to the tunes!
She is amazing!
Even better in person
