Buffalo river messer Videos

You guys are great! My wife and I are really amazed at the number of instruments Jeremy can play. :)

I think I heard Gordon Stobbe play this. I am pretty sure. I dont remember when though.

Nice! and easy, great version of this wonderful tune.

very good music patti.i love fiddle music .

Reminiscent of Beaumont Rag...

By the way, it strikes me that Messer’s setting of Miller’s Reel may have been lifted, as is, out of Cole’s 1000. It’s quite close. Other Canadian fiddler’s have used Cole’s -- Mylie Barron (Voyager Records) for example.

+howard marshall Hi howard! Ya, for some reason they started calling it “Dusty Miller” in Canada, Dusty Miller being a completely different tune in the States. I think Messer may have started that nonsense. Graeme Townsend called it that too. I don’t call it that and try to get other Canucks not to call it that. By the way, BigJohn appears in Christensen’s book and was played by Cyril Stinnet and Uncle Bob Walters. St. Anne’s, Woodchopper’s and Angus Campbell were also in their repertoire, and in R.P.’s book. I used to be able to get Nebraska on my car radio up in Saskatchewan on really cold winter nights in January, the air being dense. I think Bob Walters must have been able to pick up Messer playing on CBC broadcasts, perhaps out of Winnipeg, on cold winter nights. I think Dwight Lamb said that they also used to find Ned Landry LP’s in the larger centres down there. I think Lonnie Robertson may have had a Canadian tune in his rep too, one that sounded a lot like Frenchie’s. Anyway, I love the Missouri valley or hornpipe style of Uncle Bob and Cyril; it seems to have something akin to Canadian fiddling. Lots of notes maybe. :-)

+Jeremy Corrigal Big John MacNeil is a beloved Metis fiddle tune.

Awesome fiddling. We play our fiddling in Northeastern Ontario similar to your style. I have a few videos up from a few years ago but in a different channel. keep er up.

Its so good to hear a good tune from a place I know of as my Dad Donald MacLennan was born there on the quarter section right south of the service station in 1896.
