about

"...I just listened to the first 5 songs and was just blown away. I don't think I've ever heard a fiddle/banjo duet as tight as that. Jon's playing was awesome as usual and Ron Andrico's banjo was very complementary and never overpowering. He was locked in like a clock to the melody almost as if he could read Jon's mind. I'm a huge fan of Tommy Jarrell and Bruce Molsky but the more I listen to Jon the more I think that he was the finest fiddle player I've ever heard."

The music here is from a recording made by Jon & Ron in 1983. Traditional fiddle tunes expertly played with wild abandon by two good friends. As was the case with many repertoire tapes, it was copied and re-copied again and again, eventually sounding as scratchy as any old field recording. We have decided to release the versions from the original master tape as a tribute to Jon, who passed away far too soon on June 15, 2015.

For a bit of background on the recording, read our blog post:

Eulalie Cleveland Heights, Ohio

Eulalie (pronounce it "YOU-la-lee")
True blue. Guaranteed 100% irony-free.

Hauntingly stark, sweetly sentimental, or just plain fun,
these old songs tell the stories of people's lives.
Ron & Donna treat these treasures with the love and respect of honest, straightforward arrangements inspired by the old masters of parlor, dance hall, and backwoods.
