Northwest Field Recordings at Voyager Records

For over fifty years we (Vivian & Phil Williams) have been doing field recording of fiddlers in the Pacific Northwest, and have also fallen heir to fiddle field recordings mde by others in this region. Here we present a sampling from many hours of these recordings of some of the fiddlers who played in the Northwest. Most of these fiddlers no longer are with us, but we believe their music should live on. The tunes are in mp3 format at 128 kbs. We have written up as much as we know of each fiddler and the circumstances under which the recording was made. This is an ongoing project and will be added to from time to time. We have selected the tunes presented here from only part of our archive, and will add more as we continue to go through the rest of the archive. We appreciate any additional information that anyone would care to send us about the fiddlers and/or the tune they are playing. In some cases, we have not been able to identify the tune and know little about the fiddler.
