Vi Featured in Colorado Old-Time Fiddlers’ Association Newsletter

March 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

My CD Release, and one of my original tunes, Buttered Beans were featured in this issue of the Colorado Old-Time Fiddlers’ Association Newsletter.  It’s always nice to get some of my tunes out there in front of other fiddlers. And, I was named to the COTFA Board of Directors – pretty exciting stuff.

COTFA May Newsletter Mention

May 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The May edition of the Colorado Old Time Fiddlers’ Association Newsletter features another arrangement by Fort Collins Strings Member, Vi Wickam.

The May newsletter features a Twin Fiddle arrangement of “Who’s Gonna Talk to Dinah” as arranged by Vi Wickam. Vi learned this piece by listening to Junior Marriott and Alita Stoneking play the tune in the Twin Fiddle division at the American Heritage Music Festival in Grand Lake, OK. This isn’t a transcription of what they played, but is an arrangement that Vi worked up when he got back home after the contest.
