Les Bon Hommes Du Nord: French-Canadian Fiddle Music & Songs from New Hampshire
by American Folklife Center http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=5687
Patrick Ross and Jean Theroux present a program of fiddle tunes and songs drawn from their French-Canadian heritage. They will be joined by Dalton Binette and Bow Thayer. All four musicians hail from the northernmost area of New Hampshire, adjacent to the Canadian border, across which people and cultural influences have flowed steadily over the last hundred years or more. The fiddle, accordion, and guitar are the most common instruments used in French-Canadian music.
