more old-time fiddle + more clawhammer banjo + more grantwinning poetry = More Alaskan Fiddling Poet Music
Bio / Background
Gratified by the success of A Week in Eek, my first CD with Andrea Cooper, I didn't wait too long to make another.
So what you have is more fiddle & banjo & poetry, the same emphasis on keeping it simple.
What's different here?
If anything, this is more Alaskan. Two poems in particular, both set in Fairbanks, are longer than anything on the first CD. Plus in keeping with my own history (I've spent lots of time alone with my fiddle, first learning to play, then traveling around the state as a writing teacher and fiddler), there are more tracks that feature solo fiddling.
But the CD itself is what says it. So click on the featured cuts (you can hear 2 minutes of 4 different tracks), give it a listen, and see if you don't agree. If you heard the first one, this is more of the same, but different too. And if you haven't heard that first one, welcome to Alaskan Fiddling Poet Music. It may just make you smile and smile.
And if you want to know more about Ken Waldman, keep reading . . .
