You may be one of those people who knows all about the Lowville Festival – an event that takes place every July in Lowville.
Last season there was a rendition of Northwest Passage delivered by the widow of Stan Rodgers, the man who wrote it and performed it for tens of thousands of Canadians.
Paul Novotny playing the double bass at the 2016 Lowville Festival.
There was a performance on a base fiddle that was the best I have ever heard. Paul doing the Porter’s Hymn on his double bass was the star of the evening. Seldom does one hear this quality. You could have heard a pin drop while the sound was being plucked from the strings of the bass.
