The lady playing the bass looks like she couldnt be happier than doing what she's doing....

[@jasonw4053]

That's her husband ripping the fiddle to pieces!

[@dizzious]

Nadine. I'm pretty sure she's the leader of the group. She does vocals sometimes and her energy there is incredible too.

[@rowanmulvey8632]

Nadine loves a good tune. Watching her love Sammie tear it up with that fiddle brings her joy just like it does us!

[@pbasswil]

French Canadian exuberance! Remember, 'Cajun' is a contraction of Acadian; and l'Acadie was a French settlement in the Canadian maritimes. Nadine's from nearby, on the Gaspé Peninsula. There's a deep living tradition of traditional music in the whole region.

[@gafulg3017]

@@pbasswil Best music!

[@michaelhutchens4243]

Thats Cool!

[@centerice]

Everyone always thinks the tempo is held by the bass in an acoustic string band but it's really the person playing "rhythm" guitar, because it is much more audible (it's generally the only "midrange" instrument in the group) to the other musicians playing lead instruments. Super solid here. Not one millisecond of drift in the tempo from the first to the last note, and folks I'm here to tell ya as someone who has played for over 50 years now, keeping the tempo precise and steady in a 5 minute song of this sort, is quite an accomplishment. Quite an accomplishment indeed.

[@zachb8012]

She held it down, though it's not the most exciting song to play on guitar.

[@zulusmith6718]

The bassist is 100% happy.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

zulu smith Can confirm. Old time upright bass is the most fun I've ever had playing music, and I've been playing funk/rock/jazz/fusion for over 20 years.

Reuben’s Train sounds like riding in the cab of Santa Fe Railway steam loco 4-8-4 with 80 inch drivers running at 90 MPH to make up lost time with The Fast Mail Train! Well done! Those two ladies make good firemen keeping her hot with just the right amount of water running into the boiler to make enough steam and pressure to run 90 up hill and down.

[@bluesageful]

Best description of Reubens Train ever! Cause you really can see, hear, and feel the train!

I love watching Nadine play that Bass fiddle, she plays with so much heart and soul and dances to the rhythm while she is playing. Cant get any better than that. You go girl.

[@ronwisman1767]

I love watching her also, think some time she should be in front of the group

[@banzospod]

@@ronwisman1767 she's just keeping the traditional bass players position,standing at the back,but that heart n soul is right up the front driving that music along.( I may be biased as a bass player meself.)

[@davidwayne4296]

not sure why this mountain music string band came up on a search for cajun music but i'm sure glad they did . . . i've become a fan through that search mishap . . . talented group . . . the bass player is the most smiling woman in the world and puts passion into playing the bass . . . the fiddle player is highly skilled . . . saw a video of him playing twin fiddle with Joel Savoy and it was a magnificent performance by both of them . . . Caleb is far more talented than any single song would suggest, capable of playing a wide variety of string instruments . . . it would not surprise me to see him playing any instrument including wind . . . i am quite fond of Reeb's vocal performances . . . she is a female power vocalist . . . not flamboyant but when you have actual talent you don't need visual distractions . . . she packs a punch, gets your attention and holds it.
