Just as, in jazz, saxophonists talk to each other or comment on a blues voice, so a fiddler validates the singing of his partner by creat- ing an almost protective context of strings around it. The great advan- tage Bluegrass Country has over more modern art forms is that it can immediately elicit a resonance in the audience by rendering pieces about parts of American history encased in popular songs. If you never knew a thing about trains, one session with artists like Dave Orlomoski and Dave Shaw would be enough to convince you that something important once happened in America that had something to do with freight cars. Not passenger trains. But the workingman’s freight train. Woody Guthrie comes to mind as perhaps the greatest eulogizer of freight trains rolling from one city and section of the country to another with all of the attendant unhappiness of impoverished hoboes plucked out on strings and hauntingly sung about. People did hop trains back in the 1920s and 1930s against a background of eco- nomic depression and desperate men. But somehow Country has romanticized it as a human cry out of the depths. Kenneth Taylor, a local instrumentalist and Country singer, spoke of the difficulty in Orlomoski on guitar. writing lyrics. Shaw plays a solo. In praise of the ‘go-to’ drawer
