Walking in My Sleep

from Strike Up The Bow by Gene Goforth

about

From the original album notes:

The rivers around Eminence, Missouri run swift, clear and cold, making a special kind of music. The people around Eminence make a special kind of music, too, a rich contribution of Missouri's traditions. Gene Goforth is a fiddler from Eminence. His father played the fiddle, his aunts and uncles all played music as do his brothers and sisters.

Gene started fiddling at square dances when he was about nine. He'd fiddle to piano accompaniment, sitting on a stool, swing his legs in time to the music. He recalls, "There was always some moonshine at the dances down there, and every once in a while they'd slip me a drink. If they'd slip me once too often, the I'd fall asleep on the stool and wouldn't wake up until the dance was over".
