Descended from a family that brought their square dance fiddlin from Colorado to the Spokane, WA area for logging jobs, today’s guest continues a family tradition that goes back at least 3 generations. She plays a lot of tunes familiar to me, including ones my Grandpa played like Snow Deer and Roxanna Waltz. Her longtime friend from just across the river, Dianne Allen provides some piano backup rarely heard anymore.. It is kinda like stepping back into time..just coming off the boat in the Columbia Gorge, stopping at Hood River for a night cap and catching some music at the local pub. This is my friend, Donna Reuter.

Our St. Patrick’s Day Special features a Portland native who moved to Limerick to learn traditional Irish fiddling. As you know, we typically look at American fiddling tradition on Fiddle Me This, but this holiday gives us an opportunity to share something different. Listen as Erik Killops shares authentic Irish tunes and how we were first introduced in Ireland, even though I’ve never been there.. Fiddle nerds will enjoy Erik’s description of how hornpipes are played on this one. Tune in for a great discussion on American vs. Irish fiddling traditions.
