Huckleberry Hornpipe is one of the first fiddle tunes that I remember playing in a fiddle contest. I didn’t play it very well at the time and didn’t do very well at the contest. Rather than thinking, “I should go practice some more.” I thought, “Gee, I must need a better song.”
That was dumb, but sometimes that’s how a 12 year old boy thinks!… Since then, I have often enjoyed playing Huckleberry Hornpipe. It’s one of those tunes that really does stick with you.
Huckleberry Hornpipe really is a great tune. It was written by the great bluegrass fiddler, Byron Berline. Enjoy!
Hi Vi, Awesome project, enjoying listening to all the previous days. Any chance you’ll be doing that old Erwin T. Rouse tune or maybe Atholl Highlanders or the Gael?
Hey Michael, I will add those 2 to my list of potential tunes. Are there any others you would like to hear?
Wonderful! I love A Fiddle Tune A Day!
Thanks, Joan!
Really enjoying “A Fiddle Tune A Day.”
Thanks, Dennis! I’m glad you are enjoying it!
Thank you for all lovely tunes you bring us.
Hope to play with you some day.
Hi Gunter! You are very welcome. That would be wonderful. 🙂
im so glad i got a programme thats slows tunes down without loosing the pitch !!! yay! 🙂
That's fantastic! I use Anytune Pro+ for the iPhone. It works really well, has the best tone quality I have found when it's slow, and it has some cool functions like gradually speeding up. 🙂
I love the way you comment on people’s observations so respectfully. Your tunes a day is a gift to all of us, either at the start of our fiddling journey or well underway. It’s a joy to open the email and see your tune. You’re very generous and a real inspiration. Thank you!
Thanks, Maggie. I don’t even know how to respond to your comments that are so kind. It is an honor to be able to give this gift, and to have it be appreciated by so many people. And, if I can be an inspiration to anybody, that really makes my day. Thank you!
