I have just created a new meetup group called Fort Collins Traditional Music.

I started this group to foster a community of people interested in oldtime music in the Fort Collins area.

We will be scheduling monthly group fiddling, harp, and flute workshops, and may also schedule periodic jam sessions.

If you are a traditional musician, or are interested in learning to play, we would love to have you join this meetup group.

The original post for this announcement is on the Fort Collins Strings Website.

This is Little Rhino, a fiddle hoedown that I wrote for my son, Ryan. I hope you enjoy it.

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.
