New Reviews of Not My Monkey

Here are some reviews of the new Fiddle Whamdiddle Album: Not My Monkey:

Not My Monkey“The pair is at their best in the nine old fiddle tunes on this album. From Soldier’s Joy (Track 1) to June Apple (Track 14), these tunes sparkle like sequins, swing like a trapeze, prance like a show horse, and strut like a ringmaster. Cold Frosty Morning begins tossing plates into the chilly air, then twirls them faster and faster till they vanish in a wisp of smoke. The spotlights are on rhythmic innovation and precision. I dare you to listen sitting still….I recommend having popcorn and peanuts available when listening to this album – and a big ole glass of pink lemonade. These are definitely my monkeys – and my kind of circus.”
–Ilace Mears,
2016 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion

“Steve and Vi clearly demonstrate the well-mastered art of the support musician while each shines on intricate leads. Hammered Dulcimer players should take note and appreciate Steve’s subtle and intricate back-up on the instrument that is so often considered a “melody” instrument!”
–Linda Thomas

“Both Vi and Steve are great jamming musicians, and their freewheeling, enthusiastic styles are apparent right from the opening track of the old classic, “Soldier’s Joy”. It is clear that both players love the music and are having great fun with the tunes….Listening to Not My Monkey feels like hanging out at a fine Old Time jam. I found myself wanting to play along and join in the fun.”

–Mark Gilston,
2016 National Mountain Dulcimer Champion
