We're about out of time for The Tall Grass today. Our theme song from Cadillac Sky. Our show is made here at WNCW and uh, well, David Holt dropped by WNCW recently and one of the things he left us from his State of Music show was this April Verch piece: Angus Campbell and Belle Election taking us home. April Verch here. I'll see you next week.

(I'm not sure about Belle Election, but that's what it sounds like.)

I'm guessing that Angus Campbell is performing a piece written by April Verch, called Belle Election.

so I think it's a medley of Angus Campbell and Belle Election performed by April Verch during her visit to David Holt's show. Unfortunately I cannot watch that show due to the restriction of countries.

However I still don't know what does "taking us home" mean, How does a song take sb home?

Radio DJs often use taking us home to refer to the final set in a show.

That sounds possible, yes. I'm not sure but I think you're right.

This is the last song of the radio show, so taking us home means something like 'seeing out the last part of the show'. Imagine that you have a long night out on the town. The taxi that takes you home is the last leg of the night.


(How the hell does she manage to play and dance together so furiously like that?! Very impressive. I wonder if she can sing as well.)

Cape Breton (Nova Scotia) fiddlers do that. It's rare to see a fiddler who can sing and play simultaneously. You'll notice that the late great John Hartford, who was from St. Louis, Missouri and had a style only distantly related to the Cape Breton style, does one or the other:

 

[jutfrank]

Well, I can't play the fiddle and I certainly can't do Irish dancing, but it still seems to me that it is easier to play and sing at the same time than to play and dance at the same time.

Anyway, hats off to all these talented musicians/entertainers.

It is not a medley etc.

1. Radio studios are small interior rooms. Music is not usually recorded in them.

2. I am able to see the youtube video you referred to. It was recorded on a TV program called Cook Shack, not the radio show Tall Grass.

3. You asked us what we heard the dj say and we told you.

1. I think I didn't mention it's recorded in the radio studio. I said it's recorded in David Holt's show and provided the URL (the first one). It's this show I cannot watch.
2. I can watch the youtube video of the second URL. I just provided it to show Angus Campbell is a fiddle tune instead of an artist because it seemed that nobody confirmed it in the answers. I didn't mean it's the tune played in the radio show. The mp3 I attached is indeed from Tall Grass.
3. I appreciate the answers and I replied my understanding for confirmation. What am I doing wrong? Is my reply off-topic?

I listen to lots of Bluegrass and Old-Time music. It's very common to hear a medley in this genre. Before posting, I didn't know the title of the tune that's going to be played. After I got these answers, I'm pretty sure it is Angus Campbell and Belle Election. I really appreciate everyone's help. Due to language barrier, I may not understand the rules correctly. If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know which rule I'm against. Thanks.

I suppose dylc noticed that I was cross with him or her.

Dylc, you asked what the dj said and we told you. The thread should have ended there. But you then barged in with a silly speculation about medleys based on a Youtube video you hadn't even seen. It was, as we say, a non-sequitur.

We are glad to have you with us. Please read and accept the forum rules, then ask us whatever you want. One question per thread please. That makes things easier to follow for everybody.

GoesStation wrote "the late great John Hartford".

Yes indeed. I miss him and still listen to his stuff though he's been gone a long time now. (A little taste of the Canadian idiom at the end there eh?)

Your answer does help. I replied my findings because I had a different thought about what Angus Campbell means. Maybe I should stop there since I already got answers about those words.
Thank you for the reminder of Like button. To be frank, I'm really not aware of it before.

I explained in my previous reply. I've watched the Youtube video. I knew this is not the place to argue whether it's a medley or not
so I'll stop now. I just want to have a better understanding about the whole paragraph but I got your point. I'll be careful next time.
