Tunes can take interesting journeys from one genre to another. We’re all aware of tunes that have crossed boundaries over time, especially older historical melodies. Tom discovered an Irish trad reel, John Stenson’s #2, which was recorded by Kevin Burke for his classic 1978 album “If The Cap Fits”, but has recently found a new life, having been rearranged as an Old-Time tune by Rachel Eddy and then adapted as a bluegrass instrumental by mandolin/fiddler Nate Lee. Tom will teach the original Irish version and then show the tune’s clever adaptation into these other styles.
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
