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, […]

Goin’ Places – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 289

Going Places is a pretty sweet tune. It’s swingy and fun, and just a little bit tricky. I first heard it on one of the Weiser CD’s that John Lardinois […]
