Episode 33: Jordan Rast (Growing Up Old Time)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is fiddler and songwriter Jordan Rast. Jordan grew up going to clifftop, and he shared a lot of fun stories that I vicariously enjoyed. Most people sort of stumble upon or wander into Old Time Music, but Jordan was raised on the stuff. It’s always interesting, hearing people like Jordan talk about this music; he’s not a fanatic, like most folks who find Old Time as adults, like me. To Jordan, it’s just sort of a given, more akin to going home to visit your folks. He has an appreciation for the tradition that’s had time to settle, but the  Old Time is rooted a lot deeper in him than it is in most folks.  Buy Jordan’s album Cowboy Money: https://jordanrast.bandcamp.com/  Visit Jordan’s YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/JordanRastMusic  Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool  Tunes we’ll play: Huldy in the Sinkhole Unknown title Rhys Jones learned from John Summers Making Shivers Three Forks of the Cumberland Over the Waterfall Bonus Track: Sadie at the Backdoor
