		<description><![CDATA[We played a show at the Abbey Pub a few months back, opening for Hot Buttered Rum (nice folks, they). Our friend Brian taped both band&#8217;s sets, and they&#8217;re available for download at Archive.org. Here&#8217;s a tune from midway through our set: a fiddle tune medley of The Takeup Reel, Cold Frosty Morning, and Grey [...]]]></description>

The personnel:

Herbert Sweet: fiddle;
Earl Sweet: banjo, vocal;
Ernest Stoneman: guitar, vocal

		<description><![CDATA[This side, recorded in Memphis in December, 1927, represents one half of the total recorded output of Weems String Band. It&#8217;s a pity, too, because it&#8217;s a rather extraordinary record. With more weemses than one could shake a stick at.
The personnel:

Dick Weems, fiddle;
Frank Weems, fiddle;
Alvin Condor, banjo/ voc;
Jesse Weems, cello

		<description><![CDATA[This acoustical recording from 1922 is among the earliest examples of rural Southern vernacular fiddling we have on record. Alexander Campbell (’Eck’) Robertson was a skilled contest fiddler from Texas whose recording career extended into the folk revival of the 1960s. This was recoded in New York on July 1st, 1922, the second day of [...]]]></description>

The tune is, for all intents and purposes, Cumberland Gap. His vocal performance in this ensemble piece is impressive, and displays a power not necessarily evident in his solo recordings.
