Vega plays Garner
David Kirkland Garner took inspiration for i ain't broke (but i'm badly bent) from the fiddle tunes of the American South, many of which have roots in the Celtic traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. He then combined these traditional songs with modern compositional techniques, creating a series of thirteen connected but distinct vignettes.
