Cold Frosty Morning – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 279

It’s turning to Autumn around here, and the leaves are starting to fall from the trees. We just had our first frost last night, so I think that the tune Cold Frosty Morning is especially appropriate. Today’s video is captured during the recording of the new Fiddle Whamdiddle CD, at Swingfingers Studios. Thanks to Aaron […]

Grey Eagle – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 214

Grey Eagle is a great breakdown, but I haven’t always liked it. Really it wasn’t the tune I disliked, it was how a lot of the people who I had heard played it. It just seems like a breakdown that has been frequently played with lots of trills, and kind of flowery, which isn’t the […]

Salt Creek – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 203

Salt Creek is a cool old tune – regardless of whether it’s played in a bluegrass or an old-time setting. And, it has some strong melodic similarities to Red Haired Boy. A few days ago it was one of the tunes that came up when I was having a discussion with Erin and Amber Rogers […]

Ragtime Annie – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 168

Today, Steve Eulberg and I played our first Streetmosphere gig of the year. It’s a really cool program, that I hope other cities adopt. The city of Fort Collins pays musicians and other performers to entertain on the streets of Old Town Fort Collins every weekend all summer long. Steve is a great Dulcimer player […]

Bill Cheatum – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 138

Bill Cheatum was one of those tunes that grew on me. I didn’t love it at first, but I thought it was OK. I remember hearing Tom Weisgerber play it at the Fiddler’s on the Gorge contest that used to be held at the Royal Gorge, in Canon City, CO, and was founded (at least […]
