Cuckoo’s Nest – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 29

Cuckoo’s Nest is one of those tunes that is commonly heard among fiddler’s of many different traditions. Truly, it may be one of the first “crossover tunes”. I don’t know if it’s ever been played with Indian Tabla (drums), before this recording, but I wouldn’t be surprised. When I got an email from my fiddle […]

Morpeth’s Hornpipe (AKA Morpeth Rant) – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 28

Morpeth Rant is one of those tunes that I have heard a number of times, but never had tried to play it until a couple of days ago when I was playing through Cole’s 1000 fiddle tunes, and recognizing the title (Morpeth’s Hornpipe), I gave it a go, and it was fun so I learned […]

Black and White Rag – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 25

When I first learned Black and White Rag, it was off of the 4 World Champion Fiddlers album that featured Jim “Texas Shorty” Chancellor, Mark O’Connor, Terry Morris, and Benny Thomas. Terry was the one that played Black and White, and I still think love the endings he put on the A Part (2 of […]

Allie’s Lullaby – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 23

14 years ago today was one of the happiest days of my life. It was a day that my life changed forever. For those of you who have children, you know exactly what I mean. I’m not trying to get all sappy here, but your life changes in so many ways when you accept the […]

Staten Island Hornpipe – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 22

Today, I stopped into Gib’s New York Bagels, and thought, “This would be a great place to play my fiddle tune a day.” So after grabbing a half-dozen chocolate chip bagels, I asked the girl at the counter if she minded if I recorded my fiddle tune a day there. Of course, she said sure, […]

Whiskey Before Breakfast – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 21

When we decided to go out for breakfast this morning, I thought, “That’s a perfect opportunity to record a breakfast oriented Fiddle Tune a Day.” And, so I brought my fiddle with me to Cafe Bluebird, and decided to play a little Whiskey Before Breakfast. As it turned out, I ran into my friend, Robert […]

President Garfield’s Hornpipe – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 19

President Garfield’s Hornpipe is a tune I have long enjoyed playing. I grew to like it listening to a Tony Furtado Redording, where he played it as part of a medley, and I then learned it out of the Fiddler’s Bible. It has a fun bowing rhythm in the A part (first part), and the syncopation […]

Grain Valley Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 18

I have judged a lot of fiddle contests, and one of my favorite characters to have met at a fiddle contest is J.C. Hounshell. I had the opportunity to judge the Grand Lake National Fiddling Championships with J.C. a few years back. After the contest, we went back to the Grand hotel with Gayle and […]

Good for the Tongue – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 17

Tonight, I attended the ISES vendor showcase in Denver. There were lots of wedding and event vendors to meet and schmooze with. And, the fancy desserts were awesome, especially the ‘smores in a cup with peanut butter and graham crackers covered in dark chocolate ganache, with a little dollup of toasted marshmallow cream mousse on […]
