The Lover's Waltz

Traditional American folk musicians Jay Ungar and Molly Mason entralled a large crowd on the lawn of the Wadsworth Mansion Wednesday evening with traditional American, Celtic and Baltic folk songs, along with originals.

Ungar, who fiddles with an impeccable tone, came to the ear of a wide audience when his song Ashokan Farewell was chosen by Ken Burns as a major theme in his documentary about the Civil War.

Under a perfect sky, the couple played until dusk, accompanied on a few by dobro artist Stacey Phillips, and drew a standing ovation at evening's end.
