Description
Join master button box player Dwight Lamb for a trip from the fertile fields of Iowa to his ancestors’ homeland in Denmark.
Lively vintage recordings of his grandfather join Dwight’s own recordings of “Dane tunes” he learned as a boy. Also included are rare recordings of Dwight with his mentor, Bob Walters, playing acrobatic fiddle and accordion duets, and a special visit from new friends and well-known Danish traditional musicians, Mette Jensen and Kristian Bugge, playing one of Dwight’s great-grandfather’s tunes.
A century ago, the flourishing community of Danish immigrants in western Iowa danced to these lively button box tunes; now they can be enjoyed all over the world.
