Bluegrass Camp Meeting Traditional / Arr. James Red McLeod

Bluegrass Camp Meeting is one of hundreds of pieces originating bad'i to the early settlers who populated mountain areas stretching from Pennsylvania to Georgia. They brought with them their folk-songs, ballads and dances from England and Scotland and played them in a style which has remained very much the same for over 200 years. This light instrumental piece probably originated in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is a virtuosic tune for fiddlers which is the tradition of bluegrass style.
