Tobin’s Favorite – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 345

Tonight we held the Magnolia Music Studio Winter Fiddle Recital, and a number of my students got up on stage and put on a great show for their parents and friends. At the end of the recital, I thought it was fitting to have them join me for a Fiddle Tune a Day. I didn’t have […]

Haste to the Wedding – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 335

Tonight, as I was thinking about what to play, I thought, “I haven’t played a jig in a while.” So today is a jig day. I pulled out Cole’s 1000 fiddle tunes and started playing through a few jigs. Most of them really didn’t catch my ear, but when I got to Haste to the […]

The Atholl Highlanders – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 299

I didn’t have a specific tune in mind for today, so I went to my list of requested tunes, and came across the Atholl Highlanders. I didn’t really have an idea of what the tune sounded like, so I pulled up iTunes to see if I had any recordings of it. I happen to have […]

Lilting Banshee – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 277

It’s great to be working on an album with Steve Eulberg. He’s a great musician, and he and I really get along well. Tonight’s fiddle tune, Lilting Banshee, was recorded immediately after we finished our Fiddle Whamdiddle CD rehearsal. I’ve never played it before tonight, but that’s never stopped me before. 😉 This album is […]

Irish American Jig – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 202

Today, I didn’t have any specific tune in mind to play, so I went to Cole’s 1000 Fiddle Tunes, as I often do when I’m lacking tune inspiration. I played through a handful of tunes before coming to this one. It has a memorable melody, and I liked the fact that the B Part is […]

Higgedy Jig – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 181

Tonight I was bored, and uninspired as to what tune I should play for tonight’s fiddle tune, so I went to Cole’s 1000 Fiddle Tunes for Ideas. I flipped through the Hornpipes, and Played Defiance, and Oriental, but neither of those seemed to suit my mood, and I have played lots of hornpipes already. So, […]
