Soppin’ the Gravy – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 317

I really can’t mention Soppin’ the Gravy without harkening back to the 80’s and Mark O’Connor‘s album. I totally wore that Album (Record) out.

Home in San Antone – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 228

Home in San Antone has the sound of Texas Swing to me. And, as someone who isn’t that great with remembering the words to tunes, I kept looking online for this tune under the name “Rose of San Antone”, which kept turning up San Antonio Rose which was not what I was looking for. Eventually […]
