Here's a wonderful new schottis from the Original Swedish Arvika Blues Breakers in Värmland, Sweden.
I can appreciate a band that has instruments such as a washboard, kazoo and a "screamer".
Here they are doing a new schottis written by Tuta that they call the Blues-schottis, but that I think should be called something more fowl-oriented (for obvious reasons when you view the video). The Duck-schottis, perhaps? A Quack-lender? You decide.
UPDATE: The band read this post and decided to call the tune, Quacklender. How cool is that?!
Apparently they all have nicknames as their web site identifies them thusly:
- Tuta ————>harmonica, screaming
- Tussilago ——->vocals, washboard, fiddle
- Kudden ———>vocals, clarinet, washboard, kazoo, guitar, balafon
- Polka ———–>fiddle
- Rycket ———>big fiddle, mandolin
- Bälgen ———>accordion
- Nypan ———->vocals, bass
- Snippen ——–>vocals, guitar, mandolin
A neat tune from an interesting band!
