Angeline the Baker – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 7

Angeline the Baker is possibly the seminal old-time fiddle tune. The only thing we were missing in this recording of one of the Jams from the Colorado Old Time Fiddler’s Contest was my friend Bob Zuellig singing it.   Featured in this tune are: Vi Wickam (me) – Fiddle Warry Means – Banjo Dave – […]

Ashokan Farewell – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 6

I was driving past Castle Rock on my way back home from my southern Colorado jaunt, and was inspired to play Ashokan Farewell, which was written by Jay Ungar, one of the coolest fiddlers I know of. According to the story I heard, Jay wrote this song as he was leaving Ashokan, and it was […]

Great Big ‘Taters in Sandy Land – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 4

I first heard Great Big Taters in a Sandy Land played by Dick Barrett. It’s an oldtime fiddle tune with a similar melody to Sally Ann. Since I happened to be at the Great Sand Dunes National Park today, I couldn’t think of a better tune to play for my fiddle tune a day.
