 LITTLE PLEASURES OF LIFE - ZERX 027
This recording of the Eclectico Wing of Bayou Seco, i.e. Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie, with long time musical friends and partners, Scott Mathis and Linda Askew, represents a tune patchwork of heirloom melodies. This music has been an important thread in our lives, intertwined with our other work of making violins (Ken), teaching fiddle(Jeanie), and building our house in Silver City (K&J), bidding jobs for construction companies and studying Italian mandolin music (Scott), working in Early Childhood Special Education (Linda), and playing music in the USA, England and France (all). Old tunes collected from the master musicians in our communities and new songs and tunes gleaned from our hearts, combine to make the unique sound that Bayou Seco has become well known for. That’s the way it’s always been for Bayou Seco.
