Dreamer’s Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 255

I first heard Dreamer’s Waltz as a teenager at the National Fiddle Contest in Weiser, Idaho. And, I never played it before today, although I have heard it in my head a few times, and definitely heard it a handful of times when I judged Weiser earlier this summer. I don’t know who wrote it, […]

Satan Takes a Holiday – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 172

It’s my last day judging at the National Old Time Fiddle Contest, and my last time to play in the judges show, so it was a perfect opportunity to play my fiddle tune a day from the stage.  And, I was fortunate enough to be joined by Joey McKenzie on Guitar. I was hoping to […]

Great Western Clog – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 65

I learned the Great Western Clog when I was 15 from Dale Morris. I had traveled to Shamrock, Texas before my first trip to the National Fiddle Contest in Weiser, Idaho. Dale taught me a bunch of hornpipes and reels, and this clog during the week I stayed with him. Click on his name to […]

Twin Fiddle Workshop Notes

Here is the notes handout from the twin fiddle workshop. It has some general rules to consider when playing twin fiddle, as well as a very basic arrangement of Boil The Cabbage Down as triple fiddle, and Who’s Gonna Talk to Dinah as a twin arrangement I did based on hearing Junior Marriott play it […]
