Summary

"This biography of Ron Gonnella includes a discography of his extensive recordings and provides an in-depth analysis of his contributions to Scottish fiddling, along with an analysis of his role in reviving interest in and establishing performance standards for the instrument in the United States. Rather than presenting a typical musicological analysis of Gonnella's performances or musical scores, MacMorran examines Gonnella's body of work in the cultural context of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s in a career that paralleled yet was far removed from the folk music revival and other shifts in popular music. In doing so, MacMorran seeks to recover the work of a noted fiddler who has been overlooked in the larger pantheon of music history"-- Provided by publisher.
