...developed that negative anyway, and it proved another picture entirely. Rhoda turned out to be a close relative of Tevye, a fiddler on the rueful whose face could shine with puzzlement as well as wisdom while she searched for career, meaning, laughs, irony and that sine qua non of the not-quite-liberated Msfit, a husband...
...road trip between Rocky Mount, N.C., and Knoxville, Tenn., and somehow strayed up to Boston. They play exclusively country stuff, ranging from Hank Williams laments to Earl Scruggs bluegrass, and start the weekend shift at King's Thursday night. John Lincoln has almost perfected his twang and his fiddler and pedal steel guitarist are especially good. Hard to dance to, but good enough to bear close listening...

A serious student of this century's champion fiddlers throughout Britain, he is able to recreate, for example, a dazzling fiddle tune in half a dozen incarnations representing different fiddling traditions.

If the other half is half as good, their concert of bluegrass, spiritual music, and ballads with Linda Neustadt, Rob Joel, and Al Firth this weekend should be a stomper...
