| Item Description |
The title refers to the technique of 'ringing strings' where, in addition to playing the melody, the fiddler would also play a relevant 'open' string (one of the four violin strings, but without a finger placed on it) at the same time. This can have a very powerful effect, which is noticeable from Skinner's directions: 'With Fire and Force'. He also points out that his (late) brother Sandy, would have played this melody rather powerfully. |
