""Goodbye Girls, I'm Going To Boston" is a must for any collector of Old Time Music. Stamper blazes through traditional fiddle pieces with uncanny feeling and accuracy, and his singing will haunt you. Check out song #3, "East Virginia", for an example of Stamper's authentic singing. You will feel the hardships of the early settlers buried deep in this love song. Be prepared to get up and dance when you first hear "Goodbye Girls I'm Going to Boston", and "Newlywed's Reel". If you are new to Old Time Music, and grew up listening to Hendrix and ACDC, listen closely to Stamper's "Old Joe Clark" to discover the violin's ability to rock."
