Balkan Camp + Maine Fiddle Camp
This turned out to be a major camping year.
One week in Balkan Camp followed by a week of the Maine Fiddle Camp.
At the Balkan Camp I took Albanian and Greek fiddle workshops. Played the cello in the Albanian and Bulgarian ensembles.
I did several hours of cello workshops at the Maine Fiddle Camp but also tried some Irish fiddling and other stuff.
It was nice to remember tunes from thirty years ago. I could actually play some of them in a group setting! I definitely want to go back to Maine Fiddle Camp. It was wonderful.
Here are two tunes I learned at camp.
Da Slockit Light - Supposedly the composer was thinking about a fishing village in the Northeast islands that was being abandoned.
Something Albanian.
