\"Fiddlin'<\/p>\n

Fiddle and country banjo are pure delight. Tapping my foot and smiling, I looked at the name of the group. It was, <\/span>Ruff Shodd:<\/b><\/span> an old time string band that plays traditional, Celtic, folk, vintage blues, vintage country, and original songs.<\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

“Rough shod”<\/i><\/span> – Where had I heard that before? It was a term from my childhood, from my Midwestern mom. She would say, “They just run rough shod over ’em and there was nothin’ to be done.” I never thought much about it. I knew what she meant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now all these years later, I looked it up on the internet and found this definition:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

rough-shod<\/b><\/span>,<\/b><\/i><\/span> <\/b><\/i>1680s, <\/i><\/span> <\/i>from <\/i><\/span>rough<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a> (adj.) + <\/i><\/span>shod<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Originally of horses shod with the nails projecting from the shoe, to prevent slipping.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Two people performing traditional American music is fun, but wait until you see them. This is pure <\/span>Americana.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a video of an original song sung by <\/span>Desiree Aguirre<\/b><\/span> performing with <\/span>Fiddlin’ Red Simson<\/b><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
