Martin’s Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 324

In my mind, Martin’s Waltz may be the prototypical fiddle contest waltz. It’s beautiful. It’s not quite as hard as it sounds, but it is tricky (so it sounds pretty darn tricky.) Daniel Carwile really took this tune to a new level with his recording of it.     Martin’s Waltz according to Fiddler’s Companion […]

Limerock – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 291

I think that I first learned Limerock off of a transcription of Byron Berline playing it, but I probably don’t play it very true to those notes any more. Really, that’s one of the things I like about fiddling. I don’t have to play these tunes the way I originally learned them. Heck, I don’t […]

Cotton Patch Rag – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 85

Cottonpatch Rag is one of my old-school contest fiddle tunes. I originally learned it from Tony Ludiker, and there are parts in there from me, Terry Ludiker, Roberta Rast, and others. And, I didn’t even put That’s one of the cool things about fiddling, is that learning a tune is just the beginning. Even if […]

Huckleberry Hornpipe – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 11

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, […]
