Snowflake Reel – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 348

I clearly remember the first time I heard Snowflake Reel. It was the first time I went to the Branson, Missouri Fiddling Festival contest, and Justin Branum was playing it, and I remember thinking what a cool tune it was, and how Justin was really playing the heck out of it. At the time, the […]
