Rule 5: Lauren Rioux

A versatile fiddler, mainly in the old-time music tradition, with a beautiful singing voice. Lauren’s new album has some pretty tunes and songs, my favorite being the Old Carpenter’s Waltz, an old Cajun melody. A fellow fiddling regular in our pickup dance band soloed it Wednesday night at the end of the evening, and I went hunting for it, found Lauren’s MP3 of it at the link and bought a copy to learn her version by ear.
