Welcome to the Gumboot Bloggeroo! You won't get many hits from the Top 40 here - more like misses from the Back 40. Proudly behind the times, I perform traditional and not-so-traditional music from the East Coast of Canada - songs and tunes, with harmonica, fiddle, guitar, piano, and whatever else is on hand. Check out the samples, the pictures, the information, the misinformation, the free advice, the second-hand opinions, and whatever else I end up dumping here ....

New PEI Fiddling Site

I recently came across an excellent, new fiddling site:  http://bowingdownhome.ca/.  It's dedicated to the Prince Edward Island fiddling traditions, with a vast array of recordings - audio & video - 'sheet music', interviews, and written commentary.  It is presented by Ken Pearlman, under the auspices of the University of PEI, based on his extensive fieldwork in PEI.  Highly recommended!
