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.

      Hi Von, Right now I don’t have this tune subscribed, but I will add it to the list of requested tunes on my online music school: http://www.myTalentForge.com

      I will try to have it added in the next month of two. 🙂

      Thanks,
      Vi

      It’s on my agenda. I’m going to make that happen in 2014. I will start at the beginning, and work my way through.
