Close to the Floor - 726

This title is not to be confused with Ashley MacIsaac's recording by the same name. In this case, the name comes from dancers' requests for the fiddler to "play one close to the floor!" and the fiddler responds by playing his best tunes for dancing. There are a number of artists here; the principal artists/bands are: Baxter Wareham (button accordian), Figgy Duff, Minnie White (button accordian), Emile Benoit (fiddle), The Crowd, Tickle Harbour, Ron Felix (button accordian), Ray Johnson (button accordian), The Quidl Vidi Ceili Band, Nellie Musseau (chin music, i.e. singing), Joseph Aucoin (fiddle-recorded in 1959, probably the earliest recording of Newfoundland fiddle music), Frank Maher (button accordian), Art Stoyles (button accordian), Rufus Guinchard (fiddle), Red Island, and the Wonderful Grand Band.
