[@martinschulman1751]

Bravo, bravo, bravo. Great playing, great dancing. Keep it up.

[@cd72]

Awesome...am from the Metweyash Katchiwe lineage of Skownan...our ancestors came from the Metweyashing line in Dog Creek....at any rate...awesome jigging!!!

[@roberttucker4142]

what tribe does the Metweyash come from. the last name sounds like Ojibwe or Potawatomi. translating the wind that blows between the trees.

[@cd72]

@@roberttucker4142 probably Ojibwe....or Saulteaux....from Sault Ste Marie...oral story says we came around the time of the small pox epidemic in the 1780's/1790s and came into Manitoba area....Metweyashing/Maytwayashing, I was told that it means the sound the leaves make when you walk over them, like a crunchy sound, like in the fall.....

Fantastic musical and dance performance !

[@sophiarozaia3419]

i remember recording this song from the westbrook western hour when i was around 13, this has to be the same guy from that band that was playing cause since then no one has ever played this version, sends chills down my spine lol

[@angelfire2510]

sophia rozaia this version was good but Charlie Daniels does it way better.

[@jackdublanica]

​@@angelfire2510No way. This fiddler is much better than Charlie Daniels.

[@vivianbali8496]

[@triplecranks9540]

Take a drink every time he touches his glasses lol,

[@terryashton9213]

That guy doesn't smoke cigarettes. Bet my last $20 that he just ran 10 miles.

[@cedricthibault6874]

Black socks!!

[@flamencobob]

Does the step-dancing come from the French, Scottish, Irish, or Native American traditions, or is it a mash-up? :) I'm having an argument with someone who thinks the Irish are responsible for everything Celtic, and that anything that looks vaguely Irish was stolen from them (my grandfather was Irish, so I'll give them a lot of credit, but I can't help feeling that the Scots should hire the Irish publicity Department! ;) ). I think Québecois step-dancing is great, but don't know of any European French equivalent, so was wondering if they'd got it from the Scots settlers and traders who were a strong presence in Canada.

[@altoramusic8932]

Bob Leslie its from the scottish and irish part.

[@gimpman1357]

Step-dancing during a drunken fight is Irish for sure.

[@nozecone]

You had it right the first time - it's a "mash-up". Btw, the English had and have step-dancing, too - but even less of a publicity department than the others (wait - oh - apparently they stole it from the Irish ... ! Okay, lighten up everybody; it's a joke).

[@gimpman1357]

He missed a step at 3:42.

[@ralphmarlow3086]

Did he have a heart attack? Whew!

[@MrKevin72689]

idk wrg

[@carolfowler7770]

Same old steps

[@debbiegreen5963]

3:12 dancing to the Flintstones is degrading for such a great Native dancer

[@debbiegreen5963]

@@gimpman1357 i guess toppling a few John A MacDonald statues would help too,lol

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

Cloggin is cool and all but you can't clog to this song. . .The beat is all off and the rhythm is way different.

[@KahwahShutseh]

It's Métis Jigging and this is how they dance to these songs all the time. Check out the Red River Jig.
