Devil’s Dream – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 357

I used to get so sick of hearing classical violinists play Devil’s Dream. Let me clarify. I have no problem with classical violinists as a whole. I play classical violin myself, and enjoy classical music. Nor do I have a problem with Devil’s Dream. It’s a cool tune, that happened to get caught in the […]

My Darling Nellie Gray – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 201

My Darling Nellie Gray is another tune that I first heard at the Gambler’s Draw contest at the American Heritage Music Festival in Grove, OK. As I recall, somebody else got out on the tune, and after the contest, I had Junior Marriott teach me the tune. He said that the first part is basically […]

Silver Bells – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 191

I remember the first time I heard Silver Bells. It was at the Grand Lake American Heritage Music Festival. We were doing the Gambler’s Draw Contest, one of my favorite contests, and someone else drew the tune out of the hat. The first tune that came to my mind was the Silver Bells Christmas carol. […]

Redneck Mother – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 99

Ah, the mysteries of finding the origin of a cool fiddle tune. Here is the story of Redneck Mother – the best I can remember it: Tony Ludiker and Megan Lynch, around the same time, heard an old recording of Terry Morris playing this tune. There was no name of the tune on the cassette, […]

Gloria’s Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 50

This is another waltz that I learned from J.C. Hounshell after judging with him at the American Heritage Music Festival (Jana Jae’s fiddle contest) in Grove, OK. (Great contest by the way. I highly recommend it.) JC and his wife Joyce, Gayle and LaRue Hopson and I sat around and played until they were ready […]

Devil’s Dream – For those of us who don’t like Devil’s Dream

I’m not usually a fan of Devil’s Dream, but I can think of two people who play it pretty awesome. The first is Jana Jae who plays Devil’s Dream so fast that fire flies from the strings. The second is the one I heard today – Jean Carignan. This is a truly amazing version of […]
