Description
This CD features music of all kinds played on instruments made by the late, revered West Virginia luthier, Harold Hayslett. It was originally produced by Heidi and Bob as a fundraiser for their Music Mentors after-school program in Charleston, WV, and released in time for Harold’s 90th birthday. High-energy Appalachian fiddle tunes, classical and contemporary pieces can be heard played on Hayslett violins, violas, cellos, electric cello and a mandolin. Titles include “Angeline the Baker,” “Miller’s Reel,” “Sentimental Sarabande,” “Old Christmas Morning,” “Andante Quieto,” and many more. Players include some of the best musicians in West Virginia: Bobby Taylor, Jenny Allinder, Dave Bing, Greg Bentle, John Lilly, Heidi and Bob and members of the West Virginia Symphony.
