Twin Fiddle Workshop Notes

By Vi Fiddling, Music, Musings, Workshops No Comments »

Here is the notes handout from the twin fiddle workshop. It has some general rules to consider when playing twin fiddle, as well as a very basic arrangement of Boil The Cabbage Down as triple fiddle, and Who’s Gonna Talk to Dinah as a twin arrangement I did based on hearing Junior Marriott play it with Alita Stoneking at the Grand Lake National fiddle contest.

New Panama Hat Facts Website!

By Vi Musings No Comments »

The new Panama Hat Facts Website is now officially live. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Our goal is to have a place where people can find accurate, unbiased information about Panama Hats on the Internet. We want to dispell some panama hat myths, and explore the history of this amazing hat. We explore the unique construction of the Panama Hat, using Toquilla Straw from Ecuador, and the countless hours that go into weaving an authentic Montecristi Panama Hat.

If you are looking for Panama Hat information that we don’t have listed on the site, or find any factual errors, please let us know.

Thanks!
