Grand Master Fiddle Champion, Fiddle Entertainer of The Year, Novelty Fiddle Champion and Duet Fiddle Champion, has just released another fine Fiddling CD in 2006 entitled, DANCING FIDDLES. The music on this album is reminiscent of the days when the town halls, barn dances and house parties were the center of entertainment in rural Canada. In a simplier life, long before television, computers, DVD's and video games, folks made their own fun by playing, enjoying and dancing to lively fiddle tunes. The melodies were simple, clean and uncluttered. They were presented in such a way that you just couldn't keep still. You would go home from a dance with your toes still tapping, a song in your heart and feeling just great. Scott says this CD pays tribute to that feeling. The dancing sounds of those fiddles carry on. The CD contains 18 different tracks with 28 tunes. Here are the titles of some of the tunes:
Buck Fever Rag (Reg Hill) Bowing The Strings (Ned Landry)
Faded Love (Bob Wills)
