Décès, il y a trente ans, du fiddler Keith Leslie,
"inventeur" du célébrissime Black Mountain Rag.
Je n'ai pas trouvé de photo de lui,
ce qui ne signifie pas pour autant qu'il n'en existe aucune...
Comme j'ai la flemme de traduire
et qu'il nous faut aussi penser à travailler notre anglais en prévision du prochain festival de La Roche,
voici quelques précisions :
BLACK MOUNTAIN RAG. Old‑Time, Bluegrass; Rag. A Major (Brody): G Major. AEac# or GDac tuning. AA'BB'CC'. "One of the most popular fiddle tunes in modern history..." (C. Wolfe). The piece became popular in the late 1930's. It was claimed by fiddler Leslie Keith (who is featured on the very first recordings of the Stanley Brothers), who said he wrote it in the early 1940's after taking "a little bit of" 'The Lost Child', and " a little of two or three of the Carter Family's tunes." He named it "Black Mountain Blues" after the name of a mountain in Cumberland County, Tenn., however, "The Lost Child" is the basic melody for the tune. Curly Fox changed the name from "Black Mountain Blues" to "Black Mountain Rag" on his 1947 recording for King, which eventually sold over 600,000 copies.
