| | For this reason, it is particularly encouraging that folk music should have become a trailblazer for the country's entire musical culture in such a short space of time. | | | The Folk Music Festival was joined by the Folk Music Institute (1974), the Ala-Könni-opisto music institute (1994), the folk music ensemble Tallari (1986) and the Suomen Kansansoitinmuseo (Finnish Museum for Traditional Instruments, 1987). | | | The first experiments in blending Finnish folk music with genres of popular music were made by Paroni Paakkunainen and Edward Vesala, with their Karelia band, in the early 1970s. |

| | The Cello in Traditional Music |
| | Country-dances, reels, and strathspeys were all danced to folk music; and as the dancing-masters—the people largely responsible for setting the trends—normally accompanied lessons with their own fiddle-playing, it followed that the dance-music tradition centred itself round the solo fiddle. | | | Another Irish music group that used cello was De Danann (or as they sometimes spelt it on, De Dannan) on their Ballroom album (Green Linnet 1987). | | | While it can be questionable whether the music being performed at the Streamstown gathering was traditional music as we think it today, or some mixture of Irish and European Art music with voices for cellos, it is noteworthy that O'Neill records the presence of two "Gentleman Violincello". |

| | CD Baby: LARRY HOYT: Folksinger Songwriter |
| | Having worked for several years (1987-2002) as a music journalist and concert reviewer (for the Syracuse Post-Standard and the Syracuse New Times), I'm pretty familiar with the music biz in general, and my tastes in music are fairly eclectic, ranging from classical to swing, from reggae to rock, from funk to folk. | | | I enjoyed Nashville a great deal, but my songs and my musical abilites were not what the commercially-minded powers-that-be in Nashville were looking for. | | | In 2002, while playing music at a friend's house, I met Dennis Kinsey, the head of Hondo Mesa Records, and somehow or other, Dennis got it in his head that it was about time that Larry Hoyt should release a CD of his own music - an idea I whole-heartedly agree with. |
