KC — Kevin Chaisson

KC It's always in the background with the fiddle. The fiddle is — Stands out, and the piano is always in the background. But the thing that I like to do is — I don't even know what you call it. It's kinda like maybe a chord progression, or whatever they call that I don't know, and leading in from one chord to the other. I don't know where it came from, It's just something I developed on my own, I guess. I like it, it suits me fine.

KP: Could you show us what it might be?

KC: Well, OK, say you were playing something on "A", and you are getting ready to go into another chord, (PLAYS). It's just like different runs and stuff that you would put in. It's — I enjoy doin it, it makes it something different.
