Posted by admin

Christine Balfa plays the triangle, (or T’fer, pronounced TEE FAIR), and On the fiddles are Courtney Granger and Kevin Wimmer, who are also in Balfa Toujours with Christine. They play this beautiful rendition of an old Acadian tune on just three instruments. Enjoy. P.S. Anyone know thew name of this tune ?
