Since the 1960s here has been an extraordinary revival of old-time string band music in California, and indeed throughout the American West. Despite being born blind, Kenny Hall has been a mainstay of many fiddle festivals and of the Western fiddle and string band revival in general. Kennys musical style is passionate and energetic. This book is a helpful guide to his vast repertoire learned through years of careful listening. It is also a wonderful addition to the fiddlers bookshelf and a fitting tribute to a man who, for many an aspiring fiddler, has been a friend, guide, exemplar, and patron. Many of the tunes includes nonsense lyrics that Kenny used to help him remember the melody, and each tune is accompanied by Kennys comments. The book is divided into five chapters: fiddle- based tunes Fiddle Faddle , mandolin-based tunes Rags, Tags, and Wags , Waltzes, tunes from an origin other than the United States or the British Isles Kennys Rambles ; and vocal-based pieces including lyrics Songs, Ballads, Ditties . Some of the transcriptions are written primarily for fiddle or mandolin, but most tunes can be performed on either instrument. This deluxe guide to Kenny Halls vast repertoire offers fans of old-time music a great way to get to know Kenny and his music.
