Midnight on the Water is one of the Coolest Waltzes out there. And that’s not because there aren’t a lot of cool waltzes out there. It’s cross-tuned (DDAD), which is a great start. It has all sorts of open drones that ring beautifully in the cross tuning. It has a haunting melody, and it was […]
Snowflake Reel – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 348
I clearly remember the first time I heard Snowflake Reel. It was the first time I went to the Branson, Missouri Fiddling Festival contest, and Justin Branum was playing it, and I remember thinking what a cool tune it was, and how Justin was really playing the heck out of it. At the time, the […]
O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree) – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 347
Today, I am grateful to live in Fort Collins, a town that is so supportive of local music. Today I had the opportunity to appear on the KRFC Live at Lunch program with Steve Eulberg and Brent Hawley to promote our new Fiddle Whamdiddle Album, “Old School Old Time.” Playing on KRFC is always fun, […]
What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 346
Today, I had the second opportunity to be on Pirate Radio with Charlie Wrobbel. This time, Steve Eulberg was available to join me. After playing Silent Night the first time, I had a brainstorm of the perfect song to play on Pirate Radio – What do you do with a drunken Sailor? My mom used […]
Tobin’s Favorite – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 345
Tonight we held the Magnolia Music Studio Winter Fiddle Recital, and a number of my students got up on stage and put on a great show for their parents and friends. At the end of the recital, I thought it was fitting to have them join me for a Fiddle Tune a Day. I didn’t have […]
Here We Go a Wassailing – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 344
After months of preparing for and creating our soon to be released album (Old School Old Time), It fun to be in the final stretch. The CD is off in Duplication, and will arrive soon. Today, Steve and I got to be on the Folk Show on KRFC with Lenny Epstein. It truly is a […]
Away in a Manger – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 343
Away in a Manger is a beautiful Christmas carol. And, it was the first tune that came to mind when Steve and I decided to play today’s Fiddle Tune on the air – on KRFC’s Runaway Fiddle. I really appreciate Norm Cook for having us on the air with him, and for manning the video […]
Hangman’s Reel (Le Reel du Pendu) – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 342
Jean Carignan was an AMAZING fiddler. Henry the Fiddler Introduced me to Jean’s playing on Youtube about 5 years ago, and I became an instant fan. Jean’s bow work is fantastic. I don’t know if I have ever heard someone play with as cool of bowing rhythms, while still being spot on precise. Two other […]
Silent Night – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 341
I love Christmas music, and Silent Night has long been one of my favorites. It’s peaceful and beautiful. Silent Night is clear and has no false pretense to it. It’s not showy, or fancy, just pure and authentic. Today, I got the opportunity to play on Pirate Radio, and when he asked me for a […]
Jack of Diamonds (2) – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 340
The first (and only) person I’ve heard play and sing this song (Jack of Diamonds) is Mike Moxey, which is why it’s fitting that this is a recording of Mike Moxey playing Jack of Diamonds at the Bluegrass Jam at Avogadro’s Number. We had some technical difficulties with the recording, so I apologize in advance […]
