Frank Vignola and Joe Ascione "The Frank and Joe Show"

check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnn7FWKO-A

And Frank doing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnn7FWKO-A

As well as their albums "33 1/3" and "66 2/6"
(are you old enough to know what those numbers mean?)

A little classical, a little buzzy-bee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AInQ0FdAoHk

Frank's version of Tico Tico makes my knees weak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF1jxaJvhp4&feature=related

And just in case you didn't get enough... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skxHfhIoPMo&NR=1

(I wish I could find Frank and Joe's "Sway" on YouTube, but I can't. You'll just have to play the 30 second sample off iTunes... soak up the **bliss**!)


More, more, there must be more! Feed the musical need! Tell us your favorite un-famous musical treat!

well first of all, there's Pedal your blues away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKWq2aqg5B0)

but as for my very favorites, there's JP Fraley (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ4mFmJsfE8), recently deceased. No one plays the fiddle as sweetly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKtqgVFLTe4) as he does.

Then there is Vivian Williams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI8ozzws4lw), Seattle's own.. She and her husband founded the folklife festival

Knott, do you like Joe Venuti? Stefan Grapelli?

I'm not up on music. I still listen to Neil Diamond mostly and the radio. But I do follow a couple of bands with members from my highschool graduating class:

Dolly Rots (http://www.dollyrots.com/index.php)
Four Finger Five (http://fourfingerfive.com/)
Mustard Plug (http://www.mustardplug.com/home.php)

Well, there's me...in the band Round the House

I would be blushing with shameless self-promotion but RTH is now dissolved. You can get info at www.roundthehouse.com and I still have loads of cds, and they are still available on CD Baby...) Now I play with 2 new groups, Scatter the Dust and Cobblestone, but we don't have any cds out.
