A tune composed by Ruthie and she plays it on her vielle (medieval fiddle with five gut strings).

Another recording of "On The Siskiyou Trail" can also be found on Ruthie's CD "Lay of the Waves", an album full of original music for the vielle! (more info on www.ruthiedornfeld.com)

The Siskiyou Trail stretched from California's Central Valley to Oregon's Willamette Valley; modern-day Interstate 5 follows this pioneer path. Originally based on existing Native American foot trails winding their way through river valleys, the Siskiyou Trail provided the shortest practical travel path between early settlements in California and Oregon (from Wikipedia).

A beautiful waltz played among the Métis, written by Reg Bouvette of Manitoba, Canada. One of Jamie’s favorite waltzes that she picked up from Canadian Métis fiddler, John Arcand.

We found this lovely tune, from Ohio fiddler Forest Pick, on the 1981 LP Visits. Forest is said to have learned it from Chief Red Bird, a Cherokee fiddler who played dances in the area.

Saddle Old Paint

We are three fiddlers from three very different backgrounds - Danish, American, and Native American - who love to play together. Jamie’s Métis tradition, evolved from the melding of French Canadian, Irish and Native American music, has a Celtic flavor with a hint of Native American drumming. Kristian’s Danish tradition combines bright Nordic melodies with a powerful rhythm and lively fiddle seconding. Ruthie’s American style is syncopated and a bit bluesy. We like to show how each culture brings its own voice to the fiddle. But sometimes we just combine our styles and see what happens! 
We hope that you will enjoy listening to it, just as much as we enjoy playing it.

You’ll hear the fiddle in its purest form, unaccompanied, as we each do a solo set and talk about the music. Together, we play in duets and trios, using only fiddles for accompaniment. We also feature a few tunes on the 5-string medieval fiddle (“vielle”). Most of our music is traditional, but we have a few distinctive originals as well.
