Product Description Renowned hammered dulcimer player Tony Elman discovered old-time fiddle music during his first year in college in Santa Cruz, California. At a fiddle contest he saw a dying fiddler play his tunes for the last time, and then wandered into a wedding celebration for two young fiddlers... people were singing, dancing, laughing, and the air was filled with joy. Tony realized that he wanted to be a part of this tradition. He soon made a pilgrimage to Appalachia, where he built a hammered dulcimer that he still plays today. Tony's hammered dulcimer recordings have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of music lovers around the world. Similar CDs

Member CD Reviews Deborah J. from VISALIA, CA Reviewed on 8/7/2006... This is good old timey fiddle music played on hammered dulcimers, fiddles, banjo, etc. Very happy music.
CD ReviewsThe dust in your moccasins A. Smith | Philadelphia, PA USA | 07/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "It may be 'Beaucatcher's Farewell', but to me it will always be The Loop in the Octoraro Bend. An excellent album." Folk music at its best Bethany R. Jensen | Nevada | 02/23/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This recording would not recieve such a high rating from me if I did attach sweet nostalgia to this and Tony Elman's other albums. My mom liked this music when I was growing up and she played it so much that I learned all the songs by heart. I am a big fan of world/celtic music, both new age and traditional. Shaking Down the Acorns is in a traditional style, so buy this if you like Irish folk. I can't say for sure where all these songs come from 'cause I'm not an expert, but I know some of them are old traditional melodies. They have individual vigor to them, and are not just spilled out with the intent of making a collection of "traditional sounding stuff". Most of the songs are very lively - excellent for dancing and tapping your toes. Others are slow are terribley beautiful (O'Connell's Lamentation). I also especially like Beaucatcher's Farewell and Down the Brae. If you like this, you should also try Shaking Down the Acorns, vol. 1 and Swinging on a Gate."
