Uncle JC’s Hornpipe – Vi The Fiddler’s New Tune Challenge

I’m back with another tune in my New Tune Challenge! I wrote this tune this last week, after Sherri Wortham suggested that I should write a tune for JC Hounshell. JC’s a great Texas Fiddler.

Russian Christmas – Vi The Fiddler’s New Tune Challenge
