LINER NOTES
Barry's first album "Fun N' Fiddle with Forman" contained twelve of Barry's
favourites. By contrast this album contains seventeen of his most requested
fiddle tunes. These tunes have been arranged by Barry. The result is a
most refreshing approach to old time fiddle music. The Forman Fiddle style
is the culmination of his early violin training with Mr. Alex Whyte,
the Canadian fiddle stylings of his father, Lorne, and the influence of
the well known Country Rock Trio - The Western Union. This
fiddle style is being passed on to his fiddler son Kent. Kent is
nine years old and is Manitoba's Junior Fiddle Champ.
The Musicians on the album are no strangers to the music scene. Bill
Hillman does all the guitar work with Sue-On Hillman on drums.
Denis
Rondeau plays bass and Mark Rutherford does piano, flute and
organ.
Barry, a former school teacher, now has the Ford and Mercury dealership
in Rivers, Manitoba. It's now Fun N' Fiddle with Forman N' Ford. Enjoy
the album.
