Gardenia Waltz- Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 166

Gardenia Waltz is one of the prettiest (and hardest) waltzes that I play. Johnny Gimble can write a heck of a tune. The guitar chords to Gardenia Waltz are especially beautiful, and Brent Hawley just loves playing them – so much so that he asks me to play it just about every time we play […]

Opening for April Verch – Avogadro’s Number

I am totally stoked for this weekend because I have the opportunity to be the opening act for The April Verch Band this Sunday night at Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins, CO. April Verch is one of the top Canadian Fiddlers, and she’s a heck of a stepdancer too. I am sure that you will […]
