HOME AT LAST
"It is always a pleasure to have young talent among
us, and a double pleasure when the young turn to the old ways. That
closes the circle and validates our heritage. Thankfully, the best of
our established musicians take a generous interest in the talented
young, as Danny Arthur and John Blisard do in accompanying Jake on
this recording. Together they make some fine mountain music."
- Ken Sullivan, West Virginia Humanities Council

TWO FAR GONE
"Jake and Doug are carrying on well the traditional
music of their West Virginia mentors and all the older fiddlers who
have influenced them. We're proud that they connected in part through

dance tunes that make your toes tap."
