about

Join in on New Year's Eve 1985 in Western Iowa. Fiddle tunes played while the frigid wind howled outside.

We called this the "Blue Mule" session because it was the first time we ever heard Cyril play this tune - a somewhat obscure piece from the Missouri Ozarks. As the bulk of Cyril's repertoire was derived from fidders in the Missouri Valley it's important to remember that we was really from Fordland in the Ozarks and knew a lot of tunes from that region, too.

Keep the context in mind as you listen to this recording. This was a New Year's Eve party - which we held for several consecutive years at Dwight's. So if there are a few false starts and the clinking of beer bottles - well that's just part of the "ambiance".

Recorded at Dwight Lamb's home in Onawa, IA, December 31, 1985. Present were Cyril Stinnett - fiddle, Charlie Walden - guitar/pump organ, Dwight Lamb - button accordion, Elvin Campbell - guitar/fiddle and Bill Shull fiddle.
