WEBVTT 00:05:40.322 --> 00:05:47.716 - to do my best to make me understandable. Is that a word? Yeah. Thank you. So thank you for 00:05:47.716 --> 00:05:55.923 - your comprehension. And I'm sure we will have a lot of fun. And I see here it's like a nice space if 00:05:55.923 --> 00:06:04.211 - you want to dance. So our music is like perfect for that, I think. So we would like at the end of the 00:06:04.211 --> 00:06:08.030 - show, like everyone in the front of the stage, 00:06:13.218 --> 00:06:13.822 - continue with. 00:12:09.154 --> 00:12:15.198 - Mostly a happy thing, but this one is a sad song. It's the only one in the show, so... 00:12:43.234 --> 00:12:54.565 - I think the guy is dead now. But he was pretty famous, and I think he still is. Mr. Turtle Loaf or Carolyn? 00:12:54.565 --> 00:13:05.056 - Maybe you heard of him? Yeah? So he wrote that tune called She Begs She More. That's a Gaelic name. 00:13:05.056 --> 00:13:12.190 - So I did like, I think, 10 years of research to know what it means. 00:13:12.738 --> 00:13:23.997 - happened to mean little fairy mound, big fairy mound. Didn't you know that? So yeah, I'm learning you 00:13:23.997 --> 00:13:35.035 - something tonight. So yeah, so I heard it was a story about that tune. So those mounds were kind of 00:13:35.035 --> 00:13:42.430 - a little hill. And it was two fairy, like one on each little hill. 00:13:42.722 --> 00:13:52.257 - So on the one, like on the left, it was the Tooth Fairy. You know her? Yeah? So yeah. And the other 00:13:52.257 --> 00:14:02.079 - one is the one in Peter Pan. Thinkabelle. Yeah. Thank you, Xavier. So they had a big fight that night. 00:14:02.079 --> 00:14:11.614 - I think it was maybe for a guy. I don't know. But so they were fighting with their sword like that. 00:14:13.442 --> 00:14:23.622 - And the story don't tell who won that night, but they found some toot on the ground. And $2. But that 00:14:23.622 --> 00:14:34.102 - tune is really, really nice tune. I don't think it was that violent, because it's so beautiful. So we'll 00:14:34.102 --> 00:14:35.998 - play Shibekishimo. 00:22:56.322 --> 00:23:04.025 - It's so nice to be here as Timmy said and it's so nice to play that music here in the United States 00:23:04.025 --> 00:23:12.035 - of America. Those three pieces were written by all American composers and it's one of the great exports 00:23:12.035 --> 00:23:19.969 - that you've given to the rest of the world and also some composers in Europe as well. But up in Canada 00:23:19.969 --> 00:23:25.438 - that style of music when I heard it for the first time absolutely just 00:23:25.762 --> 00:23:34.746 - changed my life. And so it's such a pleasure to come down here and play ragtime. Yeah. Yes. And this 00:23:34.746 --> 00:23:43.819 - being a world music festival, it's a great example of how the music spreads around and we get to hear 00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:51.646 - music from different lands. And right now we're gonna play a piece from Quebec, Canada. 00:23:51.778 --> 00:23:59.077 - It was written by a composer, his name is Philippe Bruneau, and he died in 2011, so he's pretty recent. 00:23:59.077 --> 00:24:06.516 - But he played the accordion, that instrument right there, and he wrote hundreds of pieces that are played 00:24:06.516 --> 00:24:13.675 - by fiddle players, accordion players, piano players, and many others across Canada and over in Europe 00:24:13.675 --> 00:24:17.886 - as well, and probably certain regions here in your country. 00:24:18.242 --> 00:24:25.797 - So this one we loved. It's a waltz called Hommage à Doratay, and we recorded it. So here's this piece 00:24:25.797 --> 00:24:26.750 - from Quebec. 00:29:00.642 --> 00:29:14.072 - Thank you very much. So maybe some of you seen that we don't have the usual fiddle player with us. So 00:29:14.072 --> 00:29:27.238 - the one we have here is like a phenomenal young man. He plays fiddle. He plays accordion amazingly. 00:29:27.238 --> 00:29:30.398 - He plays piano greatly. 00:29:30.626 --> 00:29:40.674 - And he'll also play like he's a master on guitar. So I have to say that I'm a bit jealous about that. 00:29:40.674 --> 00:29:50.624 - But he won't never look as good as me, but that's okay. So Xavier will do some guitar tune. I'll let 00:29:50.624 --> 00:29:55.550 - him introduce that. How's everyone doing tonight? 00:30:00.482 --> 00:30:07.848 - It's good to be here in this beautiful town. Never been here and it's really nice. I'm gonna be playing 00:30:07.848 --> 00:30:15.284 - three tunes. The first one is a waltz that I wrote when I left home for the first time. I spent 18 years 00:30:15.284 --> 00:30:22.367 - in the house and we all, my whole family, we moved four and a half hours north. And so I wrote this 00:30:22.367 --> 00:30:29.662 - tune right before we moved. The second tune is a reel that I wrote that I still don't have a name for. 00:30:30.018 --> 00:30:35.294 - If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. And the third tune is called Brilliancy. 00:39:33.538 --> 00:39:42.624 - Thank you so much. Thank you. So we have a small surprise for you. So we have Xavier that plays many 00:39:42.624 --> 00:39:51.800 - instruments and everything. And we have also Erin that can do many things. She plays piano, she plays 00:39:51.800 --> 00:40:00.977 - fiddle, she plays drums, she plays bass, she plays about everything, but not the accordion. She's not 00:40:00.977 --> 00:40:02.686 - able to play that. 00:40:13.282 --> 00:40:14.782 - strong tradition of 00:42:13.506 --> 00:42:23.668 - something different. We will do one of my compositions. I wrote that during four years of doing nothing 00:42:23.668 --> 00:42:33.439 - but staying home. During COVID, I think a lot of us musicians were inspired by composing because it 00:42:33.439 --> 00:42:42.526 - was the only thing we could do probably at the moment. But yeah, so I really like pop music. 00:42:42.882 --> 00:42:52.010 - the simplicity of that and how we can, how they can communicate a lot in really simple song or chord. 00:42:52.010 --> 00:43:01.227 - So I play a bit of piano too, I know four chord, only those one. So yeah, so I was playing those chord 00:43:01.227 --> 00:43:10.355 - on the piano one time and I just decided to write a pop song on the accordion. And yeah, I think it's 00:43:10.355 --> 00:43:11.518 - pretty cool. 00:43:12.002 --> 00:43:17.918 - So yeah, it happened to be really catchy, so I called it Suck In My Head. 00:48:19.554 --> 00:48:30.322 - you so much we have one last number for you tonight but just before we want to to thank some people 00:48:30.322 --> 00:48:42.166 - first the sound was really amazing thanks to Tony and Wayne thank you guys those guys are really professional 00:48:42.166 --> 00:48:48.734 - and it's amazing to work with them thank you we also want to 00:48:49.730 --> 00:49:05.037 - Thanks. Tamara? Tamara, yes. Yeah. We are not well known yet in the area, and for them to hire kind 00:49:05.037 --> 00:49:18.814 - of a new band, it's always a risk, and we appreciate that really much, so thank you. Yes. 00:49:19.298 --> 00:49:29.872 - from the other side of the computer. The organization is awesome here, so thank you for that. 00:49:29.872 --> 00:49:41.457 - And of course, thanks to you for being here because playing for nobody is really boring, so thank you. 00:49:41.457 --> 00:49:48.094 - And last thing, if you like our music, we've made an album 00:49:49.026 --> 00:50:01.802 - Well, we released it in 2020 January. Timing extraordinary. So we have a bunch of them still. And Aaron 00:50:01.802 --> 00:50:14.332 - has also a solo album on the piano. It's an amazing album. So if you still have money, you can go buy 00:50:14.332 --> 00:50:15.806 - some album. 00:50:16.322 --> 00:50:19.454 - So thank you very much and spend a good rest of the night.
