Tim's strum/bow hand is so beautiful to watch. That's not doing down on Darol, just I notice it with Tim on every instrument he plays. It's like his wrist is made of cooked spaghetti.
Nice, The Key of A tune does sound like the Real-Nice one - D one is just ok. The real Chinquapins are a kind of American Chestnut, so tasty, someone said like a buttery pecan. It does look just like an acorn after falling out of a spiky protective case (burl). They caught a Chinese chestnut blight when Chinese Chestnuts (immune to it) were brought o the North East. There are groups trying to save three types of local trees: American Chestnut, Allegheny Chinquapin & the Ozark Chinquapin ( MO, AR, TX, OK, MS, LA). In 1940's folks could shovel up truck loads of them, and were the main wild food in cival war. Not now. Some groups are cross breeding them to get blight resistance, or moving them north, or infecting them with a weaker bug that kills the blight or genetically modifying some. White oak acorns can be mashed & soaked in water and used for bread, coffee substitute etc. (red oak would need a couple of day long soak to get the tanic acid out.).
Their harmony and timing is immaculate
Woof. It shows what masters both of them are.
Botanically, chinquapins are a type of chestnut, Castanea sp., most commonly C. pumila.

What makes performers like Darol and Tim so great (besides their amazing fiddling) is that they are laid back and have a great, humorous rapport.

This is like certain french cheese. Almost terrible but oh so good.
Tim is the very best--he's like the jitzach perplan of West VA
