A couple of old records...


Forgive me, please. I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

Both of these records are scratchy. One was pressed on shellac 80 years ago, and the other one was pressed on an acetate about 40 years ago.

Both records have sinister sounding titles, and feature dissonant strings. One fiddle, the other viola.

Both records were purchased on ebay. One of them, I bought for roughly 98 cents in a lot with several other very old records. The other was was originally purchased for a quarter and later resold on ebay for over 20,000 dollars.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It's hard to know when concocting this stuff in the middle of the night if it's revelatory or sleep-deprived psychosis.

great this devil's dream!
but who is the artist? By the label
is not clearm Ed Goodreau?

The label says: Tommy Dandurand and his W.L.S. Gang. That's all I can tell you. I played it for another fiddle player who was taken aback by the tempo. It's pretty nuts.
