Moneymusk Hornpipe

Moneymusk hornpipe is a fun oldtime fiddle tune. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did working it up.

I got the inspiration to record it watching Jean Carignan videos here on youtube.

I couldn’t figure out how Jean got his triplets to pop, and I learned from Donna Hebert that the French Triplet is split into 2 bows.

WNIN Interviews Cameron Vaughn

WNIN Public Radio took a moment to interview my fiddle student, Cameron Vaughn, about his 2nd place finish in the Indiana State Picking and Fiddling Championships in the Jr. Jr. Age Division. Cameron also fiddles a little bit on air.

They also spent a little time talking with me about fiddling. Cameron did a great job at the contest, and I’m very proud of him.

Devil’s Dream – For those of us who don’t like Devil’s Dream

I’m not usually a fan of Devil’s Dream, but I can think of two people who play it pretty awesome.

The first is Jana Jae who plays Devil’s Dream so fast that fire flies from the strings. The second is the one I heard today – Jean Carignan.

This is a truly amazing version of Devil’s Dream, or as they call it in French Reve du Diable.

Outstanding performances by Maddie Denton and Robert Bowlin made quite statement. Maddie brought home the Grand Championship, the Hot Fiddle Category, and the Accompanist Award, while Robert won the Flatpick Guitar, Thumbpick Guitar, and Mandolin Categories.
