Moving west and south we enter Connecticut, a state I have driven through often on my way to Boston and beyond. The state song is Yankee Doodle Dandy, which I did not know and did not see coming, although I know the song. It was adopted as the state song in 1978.
Of course there is Connecticut with Bing Crosby, Judy Garland and Joseph Lilley.
Next up is Kristen Graves and The Connecticut Song which won her the position of the official Connecticut State Troubador.
Daniel Boucher is a dynamic young fiddler born and raised in the French Canadian community in Bristol, Ct. Learning tunes and styles from family and friends in Connecticut and Quebec, Daniel plays across New England with many artists including Josee Vachon and the Beaudoin Family. Daniel revitalized the Franco-American music scene in central Connecticut with his bi-weekly gathering called Jam Francais, and he organizes hugely popular soirees and events with French music and food. This is a long video just over and hour and ten minutes. Hope you enjoy.
Have a wonderful day.
