& Vi Wickam (Fiddle)

After playing our fiddle tune a day at Cafe Bluebird, Robert and I did a quick recording of one of his original tunes, Mockingbird.

The 3rd edition of Fiddle Tune a day is a special treat. Since I happened to be in Colorado Springs, I was fortunate that my friend, and amazing Fiddler, Tony Ludiker was available for a little jamming.

Sally Johnson is a Texas Style breakdown. This tune features Vi Wickam on Fiddle, Tony Ludiker on Fiddle, and Zach Lawson on Guitar.
