  • Toe-Tappin' Tunes
    author: Bernie Daniel

    This CD is well named -- the only better name might be Almost Twenty Toe-Tappin' Tunes -- because that's what ya get. There are all-time favorites like "Solider's Joy", "Flop-eared Mule", "St. Anne's Reel", "Turkey in the Straw" and "Barlow Knife" and then there are great old tunes you might have heard less frequently but always wanted to learn like "Jubilo", "Walk Old Shoe", and "Colored Aristocracy" and finally there are lesser known, aleit catchy, melodies like "Sally in the Garden", "Southwind" or "Rock the Cradle Joe". All seventeen cuts are rendered with a pleasing mix of fife (flute), mandolin (or citten), banjo, and guitar by five very capable musicans with a fine sense of tempo and timing for old tyme and celtic music. This is a very enjoyable CD -- I put it on just to listen but end up getting done a mandolin to play along every time. Glad I bought it! Bernie Daniel, Ohio mandolin1944@yahoo.com

    I live in Ames and heard about your group performing at the downtown festival and was wondering if there is any place in downtown Ames that sells your wonderful CD? Carolyn Yorgensen Ames, Iowa cyorgen@iastate.edu

    I usually listen to classic rock so this is a nice change of pace.
