"Durang's Hornpipe" - Daniel Carwile - The Atherton Session
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2014
- "Durang's Hornpipe" was the first video shot on the evening of April 5th, 2014. The epic weekend of marathon jamming was a culmination of Daniel and Amy Carwile flying from their home in Lexington, Kentucky to Southern California, road tripping from San Diego, and ending up at Bob and Danita's in Atherton, CA. Stephen (Tenor guitar) drove up from Los Angeles. Scott and Anne Sumner (Guitars) drove all Friday night from Boise, Idaho, only to commence jamming immediately upon arrival.
Anne remembers...
"We would do that suicide drive again! One of my memories from that trip - and something telling of the magnitude and power of the joy - is that they all stayed up playing music and jamming until we got there. They were texting us the whole time telling us what tune they were playing. We arrived at about 3am and they were all still up. We then kept playing until 5-5:30am!! Amy was recounting that Daniel came down the stairs the next morning and Scott was already sitting there with a guitar in his hands ready to play".

Transitions 101. It just can't get much better. ❤
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD THIS TUNE PLAYED ! ! ! ! !
One of my favorite fiddle players. Aubrey Haynie and Tim Crouch told me what a great fiddle player he is. Great job.
Excellent! Smokin' that fiddle!!! 👍❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this barn stomping fiddling by Daniel Carwile & Company. It was magnificent. It reminded me of my youth in Maine among my French Canadian people playing the same music--French Jigs & Reels. Fantastique mes amis. Marveillieux!
Hey there, Rayne. I'm always glad to hear from folks who have found these videos and gotten enjoyment from them. But I especially appreciate your comment being as though it seems the style of fiddling depicted in these "Atherton Session" videos is not the style you grew up with? For some people who are raised up within one style of fiddling, they are not always able to appreciate other styles of fiddling from different regions or countries. I can remember when I was a kid there sometimes being an unnecessary rivalry between Texas style, Old-time style, Canadian, Scottish, Irish, etc. And those attitudes (of some...not all) linger today.
My mother is a fiddler who always enthusiastically embraced and played a variety of fiddling styles. She would be hard pressed to tell you her favorite and she always emphasized to her students the importance of exposing themselves to as many different styles as possible.
It's likely obvious to anyone who has watched all the videos on the Joy of Fiddling channel, that I have a deep affinity for Texas style fiddling. But my goal for this channel is to try to feature as many different styles as I have access to document. If you have not already, please check out the "Red Bluff Session" videos featuring Canadian fiddler Calvin Vollrath and Canadian picker Clinton Pelletier...all of them compiled together and found in the "Playlists" section of this channel. And if you'd like to see more of Kentucky based fiddler Daniel Carwile, all of the videos featuring him can also be found compiled together in "Playlists".
Je nous remerge for stopping by the Joy of Fiddling channel.
Incredible fiddling. Holy cats!! I feel like he's channeling Vassar Clements! I was hoping to hear some banjo; I"m not gonna. lie. Maybe he was sick today.😆
WOW, what else can I say, perfect , thanks !!!!!
Works for us, Kathleen. Thank you!
I don't think any one can play fiddle better than this guy AWESOME. Love to listen to him play. WOW
Well, I think you've got good taste in fiddling, Daisy Mae. I never like to say that one particular fiddler is the "best" or "better" than another fiddler, but I can say without hesitation that Daniel is one of my favorites. And he's a consummate gentleman to boot. If you'd like to see more of Daniel jamming on this channel, all 21 of the videos that feature him are compiled into a single Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL-7sGqQweHSiluf7NmuR8v0fj1gS6lPeK
this is just amazing!!!!
I hear y'all!!
Hey, I know that dude on the guitar. He's a good Ol' Boy. Keep it up fellas. Sounds great!
Style reminds me a bit of Matk Sullivan. Both fantastic fiddlers
TRES BON.
I love doo rangs that's what Benny Thomasson I hope I spelled it right he learned from that Clark I heard they use trade tunes on the telephone they were they best fiddlers in earth in their time
I can't confirm that Benny and Clark traded tunes over the phone, but I can say I don't doubt it for a second. I didn't know Clark, but I did know Benny when I was a kid. He was kind, humble, open, and generous with his knowledge, experience, and tunes. Makes total sense to me that he and Clark would hit it off and share a mutual admiration, appreciation, and respect for each other's ability and style.
@@joyoffiddling you knowed Benny T I love his fiddlin he created a style that is very copied at almost ever fiddle contest I studied Benny's fiddlin when I played guitar his version of tunes are almost always played in contests
Clark come from one of the famous moonshine hollers in wv I lived there he could fiddle Fritz Chrysler came lookin for him he was famous violinist in the 20s
No doubt about it, Benny's influence is still heard loud and clear in much of today's fiddling, especially at (many...not all) fiddle contests, whether folks know it or not. Long gone, but not forgotten, I believe there's a good chance his music will live on forever.
Jt perkins played that song well you ever of him he lived in. Alabama
Big fan of Mr. Perkins around here. Still own a few of his old fiddle LP's from the 70's. While Danial currently resides in Kentucky these days, he grew up in Alabama and spent quite a bit of time with JT, listening closely and learning a lot. Daniel was greatly influenced by JT's musicianship and still speaks fondly of him to this day.
Awwwww Yeahhhh!!
augustus durang was a relative of mine on my mothers side
Benny called it sorry
That's a nice version of doorang s hornpipe I had alot people asked me how you make rhythm so good for one thing I don't play a godson guitar second I don't beat on it third thing I learned from wild bill and Robert shafer
Hey Brandon. Welcome to the Joy of Fiddling channel. I knew Wild Bill from when I was just a kid. He played back up for me and my family many a time. Fine man and a fine picker. He is dearly missed.
@0:34 I thought he was gonna poke that feller in the head lol Very nice guys !
I'm always amazed how often I think that will happen in a jam situation, but, luckily, so far, no fiddler or picker has ever been harmed during our jams.
.
Texas accent he had
Needs more guitars
@Dylan Montgomery, speaking as a fiddler, I can attest for myself it is incredibly satisfying to be surrounded by three or four pickers at a jam session. (especially if one of the guitars is a four string tenor, as in this video) It's like having your own personal wall of rhythm. But, to each, his/her own. One person's too many is another's not enough.
@@joyoffiddling I agree, that's why you need more.
My bad,@@FUSIONJAZZMAN420. This channel is just so used to getting comments about "too many" pickers, pluckers, or pounders.
Durang's? Great version.Touch of John Hartford there. 4 strumming guitars. Really?
Sean Smith Well, Sean, you're right. We were a little short on pickers that evening. ; )
ah well ... could be worse ...at least you don't have bodrán epidemic ;)
+Sean Smith Augustus durang who composed this song with the famous German dwarf ... Charles was a relative of mine on my mothers side
I dont know I care less they was both the greatest fiddlers I know Clark changed the names of standard he called katy hill Sally ann Johnson I girl that he loved he called east Tenn blues pokey river blues I care less if believe or not I know mark O'Connor mentioned Clark kessinger in his championship years book around hell among the yearlings I just wanted share stuff I knowed sorry I am stupid
Brandon, please don't misunderstand. I LOVED your story about Clark and Benny swapping tunes over the phone. We love it when people share stories here on the channel, so please, feel free to do so.
Sir you are with out a doubt incredible BUT When you imblish a tune that is no longer recognized/ your just a show boat-- I have been playing these tunes for 60 years & I understand your good/ but please respect the original!!!
Hi there, @wilkersonjoel8166. First off, let me say I appreciate your passion for tradition and I completely respect that Daniel’s take on this tune may not be your cup of tea. There are so many different styles of fiddling in the world and limitless ways to play any given fiddle tune. It’s impossible that everything will be to everyone’s liking all of the time. When Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Monk, Coltrane, and many others broke new ground on traditional jazz standards or melodies, there were always folks who insisted they should “respect the original tune”. And like jazz, fiddling is a living breathing art form forever evolving. Some fiddlers may take it in directions that others may not approve of. I can assure you that Daniel has a profound love and deep respect for these classic fiddle compositions and anyone who knows him would never describe him as a “Show boat”. On the contrary, he is the most humble, down to earth, mild mannered, unassuming, generous, and thoughtful gentleman you could ever hope to meet. And while Daniel has a style that some might call “progressive”, I have never felt that his improvisational interpretations ever lost sight of the original soul of a tune. Daniel simply plays a tune the way he hears that tune. The tune tells Daniel how it wants to be played by Daniel in the moment. If Daniel allowed the approval or disapproval of others to influence how he played, he would not be the artist that he is. Not everyone is going to appreciate how Daniel speaks through his instrument. And that is ok.
No argument that this is superb playing, but the homogenization of traditional tunes when rendered as improvisational venues is a bit sad.
Greetings, ozwzrd. I am sorry that you feel that way, but the Joy of Fiddling channel is always respectful of differing opinions. The sentiment you have expressed is one I have been hearing since I was a kid growing up as a fiddler and I am certain it will always be around. There are countless numbers of differing fiddling styles out there in the world and of course not all of them are going to be appreciated equally by everyone all the time. I will say though I was a little taken aback by your use of the words "homogenization" and "sad". The definition of homogenization might be a little open to interpretation, I guess, but usually when people use the term in regards to music they are intimating that something has become watered-down, uniform, similar. In my mind, musical improvisation is the antithesis of homogenization. The whole point of improvisation is to put your own unique stamp on something. Your own flavor or personality while not straying so far from the original composition that it becomes unrecognizable. Improvisation is the ultimate in self expression. Daniel's take on this tune in this video will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is anything but homogenized. And as far as it being "sad", all I can tell you is this. Everyone in this video (and the person behind the camera) were introduced to their instruments by traditional music. We were raised up in it and it flows through our veins to this day. But we are also open to the growth and evolution of traditional music. There is room in our ears for all of it. The joy we feel when we play this music this way is evident in this video and all the videos on this channel. It's not sad to us. Far from it. The greatest happiness we experience in life is when we are playing this music together with our friends. It is absolutely okay that it will not be to everyone's liking, but I do hope that everyone understands that we love and revere these old tunes as much as anybody... we just hear them differently when we play them. We pay homage to and keep them alive in our own way. I appreciate you stopping by the Joy of Fiddling channel and commenting and you are welcome to do so anytime.
