That trio played until Tracie's death in December of 1988. This new recording has Sears and Nation plus son Phil Nation on fiddle and Bjarne Jacobsen on 12 string guitar. For 40 years their music has been in local Scandinavian dances.
Many songs are Swedish with Danish or Norwegian mixed in.
The final tune is a NW Folklife Festival recording of the original trio. The beat is a bit less emphasized than in old time music. En afton vid Mjorn. Wonderful to have this historical documentation. Here's some fiddle music by the Pioneer Trio.
