It’s always a treat to get a new record by Rafe Stefanini, as you know it’s going to be filled with good tunes and fine fiddling.  The Italian born Stefanini moved to the USA many years ago because of his love for the music, and he makes his home in eastern Pennsylvania, where he repairs instruments as well as performs.  On this disc he is joined by his daughter Clelia—she plays fiddle and guitar and Rafe plays fiddle, banjo and guitar;  they both sing as well. The tunes and songs are all good ones, and come from legendary old time musicians like Oscar Wright, Bob Walters, Casey Jones, Marcus Martin and the Carter Family. They are played and sung with skill and respect.   ELKHORN RIDGE, DUSTY MILLER, COLLIN MEDLEY # 1 and # 2, POPLAR BLUFF, etc.
