Benny Thomasson
hot platter! SAY OLD MAN CAN YOU PLAY THE FIDDLE: In marked contrast to the southern Appalachian fiddling style---often characterized by short, rhythmic bow strokes---down in Texas they play the smooth, singing "longbow" style. It's a sophisticated technique; the Lone Star State has a rich and completely distinctive fiddling tradition, and Benny Thomasson was one of the most revered Texas fiddlers ever! Here's a huge selection of Benny playing some of his great, contest-busting tunes in the cozy informality of Vivian Willams' living room in the `70s. Great tunes in the beguiling Texas style from one of the century's great masters!
