SJWO loyal EARLY VIOLIN PLAYING IN LINN COUNTY DESCRIBE WSHTS By F. P. Nutting Whatever Spokane may be in the matter of drink it is certainly dry climatically. In four months only a flight quantiay of rain has fallen, that on one day. But the weather is dc light ul for personal comfort. Large numbers 01 Montana soldiers without uniforms, have been here on their way to American Lake They have paraded the streets, with their patriotic yells and banners One read: "WILSON WE TRUST; THE KAISER WE'LL BUST." I was fortunate in running upon the whole family of Clyde LauifhearJ, now numbering four, a fine healthy girl four months old having taken charge of affairs, bossing the rest from a seat in a pretty bufrgy. Mr Laughead is employed by the G. V. I found Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Rob ertson and daughter Lilly in fin health and spirits, hospitable people Mr. Robertson is quite active for a man of almost R7, and deserves to have many more years added to his well spent life. I heard Richard Pearson Hobson awhile on Sunday. His subject was "National Prohibition," but also speaking on the subject of the pres ent war, gave the cause of H as fol lows: "The Protection and Promotion of the Welfare of the Human Race." Civilisation demands the overthrow of the Teutonic military machine, and It should be done effectively, in the Interesting Story in Early Day Fiddling and Violin Play ing 1$ Told. By Judge D. B. McKniht I'coplc, passing alon Lyon liftel c ila last Wtftki miglit tutv hiaru the tones ot a wouu issuing iron, ihe Oregon Electric tMtira. li the) did, U is saic to tay that lllc pui listen, as the music sVU dacMcdlj out ui the ordinary. The tired tnv- ttUtri dozing on the beaches "st up and took notice and the performci GOB had a crowd around hitn. Kt the young man replaced his violin tu the CMC and laughingly Plied htl hat in mutation ot the street tnusi eian, a bystander made the obe na tion that the periormauce was very unusual, the instrument being Dttdc by a Linn county man, oi Lmn coun ty wood, and the perionner, Mr. Charle South, being a native son of Linn county. While waiting tor a tiain to Lonallis, Mr. aoou a showing his newly acquired violin to a friend and running over the instru ment to how up its beautiful tone qualities. As we listened to tiie music, we were reminded ot some ot the noted violin players who visited Linn coun ty in the early days and we though it might be ot interest to the readers ot the Democrat to hear something oi these performers. The celebrateu John Kelly visited Albany in the ear ly '60s. L'p to that time we had heard DC thing but the local tiddlers, men who could play only in the first po sition such pieces as "Haste to the Wedding," "Pop Goes the Weasel" and "Chicken in the Dough Tray." A Tew of these early time musicians, however, learned while playing lor dances to give a very good violin im itation "The Fiddler's Awful Dry." Kelly had gained his reputation ai a violin player in the gold fields of California in the days of '49. He was an Irishman by birth and a man who possessed great natural musical ability. From an artistic standpoint his playing would not have ranked high, as he was entirely self taught. Until very late m life it is probable he never heard a man i'is own equal The early day writers v.ove a halo o: romance around the name of John Kelly, the violinist, so on his first trip to Oregon, everyone anted to hear him. When appearing before an audience he had 2 habit of elevat ing his gaze and making a very ions pause before commencing :o play. At his concert in Albany it w as said there was an Irishman in the audience who became very impatient at this delay and called out, "Will ye go ahid : we're riddy." The writer heard K-l- ly on his last Hit, to Albany during the fall of 1879. He was then an old man, but he gave a very interest ing entertainment, playing almost ev ery instrument and singing well. While his music for the most part fell on uncultivated ears, yet John Kelly was afraid to play before no "ne and in turn anyone would love to hear John Kelly play. During the winter of 1876 and 1877 .in Italian by the name of Morrelli drifted into Albany. This man a certainly a genius and ifave the citi zens of Linn county, perhaps, their first opportunity to hear a real art ist on the violin. MorrerTi seemed to be in poor health when here and stayed at the old St Charles Hotel about a month that winter. The citi 7ens of the town would congreg.-if every evening in large number- to hear him He did not seem to care to play for money but took great de light $n errteVtainintr B crowd for hours at a time with his wonderful playing and trick work. MorrHli vu fresh from Italy and could peak only . few word of broken English. He seemed to like the people here a he returned the following summer an'1 stayed another month or more. Following Morrellj we had Camilla LVso, the greatest lady violinist, and Reminyi. then ranked the king of them all. The last two naturalh. of course, were finished artists and in a different class entirely. Though the people in the early days on rare occasions even heard great music, the people of today can hear good music on every hand, and above all the advantages cf studying music as rom ared with earlier times are so much greater. The violin, referred to at the be ginning of this article, was made by a gentleman by the name of Arnold, then living at Sweet Home. Mr. H. RlCMrdl ot this cit has devoted the greatei part CM hil life to niami lavturmg and repairing violin.
