Tara Nevins and Rose Sinclair playing Breaking Up Christmas at the 1989 Galax Fiddlers Convention 

So awesome! I knew Rose back in A2 in the late 70’s, when I started hanging around the old timey scene, playing with Eric Zorn at some dance parties. I left Ann Arbor the summer of ‘81 and haven’t laid eyes on her since!! What a treat, and a blast from the past!

One of those golden moments in time.

This is why I love America!

This is such a trip. I was 5 in 89 but I have loved Tara since I found out about her when I was 17. This is such a beautiful video!

LOVE IT! Tara and Rose... so... young! (Rose has such a percussive attack on ye banjer... great counterpoint to the fiddle.)

This is perfect. ❤️

Look up Collette Fournier in West Warwick RI. She is the top fiddler there. She teaches In schools under RI Council On The Arts.

Well they've certainly got that tune down! They go together like salt and eggs!

Wowzers!!

Love this!

what a great moment in time captured! I love it!

the Dave Wells Gold Mine

Tara Nevins' version of this tune is the best I've heard, with its "call and response" weave of riffs.

Those were the days...

Great fiddling'!

"We're gonna be in the movies!"

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is such a treat! Babies!

So great that there were video cameras at that point in time already

I’ve tried 5 consecutive times to get to Galax. Last year I registered for Autoharp and got sick again the day before competition. I give up!

Hi Dave, I have emailed you a request regarding this footage.

Can anyone tell me about Rose’s banjo?

Two of the greatest women on this Earth!

I was there !!!! It was great

outstanding, thanks!

Brenda Holdridge. Wonderful....

Madonna mia amazing

Thank you for sharing!

The Galax horse stalls ! Thought I'd never see them again ... some of the best jams Ive been to in my life were in those stalls... The last time I played in the stalls was early 1980's and those girls are playing at them in 1989 ...must have been just before they torn them down ... great memories , thanks
