White Rose Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 308
I only learned White Rose Waltz recently when I taught it to one of my students. It’s a beautiful tune, and I really like the way it transitions from the Key of D to Bb and then back again. I just finished playing for a wedding today at the Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, CO […]
Beautiful Girl Schottische – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 304
This is my second Schottische of the year. I learned it from a Dale Morris transcription, but I’m pretty sure I have heard Joe Venuti play it as well. I just went through all of the Joe Venuti tunes on my computer and couldn’t find it though. 🙁 Beautiful Girl Schottische is a beautiful tune. […]

Barlow Knife – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 244
Barlow Knife is a cool tune, and I hadn’t ever played it before Steve Taught it to me (at this gig.) It was a tune I had heard before, but not more than once or twice, and I thought it was cool enough to make it today’s fiddle tune a day. I think it’s an […]
Cielito Lindo – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 233
Cielito Lindo is one of the prettiest Mexican tunes that I have heard. It’s a real tear jerker. Scratch that. Cielito Lindo is one of the prettiest tunes I have ever heard, period. When we got in the car to head to Casa Bonita, I though, “I should go get my fiddle so that I […]
Home in San Antone – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 228
Home in San Antone has the sound of Texas Swing to me. And, as someone who isn’t that great with remembering the words to tunes, I kept looking online for this tune under the name “Rose of San Antone”, which kept turning up San Antonio Rose which was not what I was looking for. Eventually […]
Back 40 Ripoff – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 127
I learned this tune while staying at the Ludiker house when I was a teenager. The Ludiker family had a gig and this was one of the tunes they played. I thought it was so cool that I had Tony teach it to me the next day. I have done quite a bit of looking […]
Arkansas Traveler: Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 1
A Journey Begins This is the first day of my Fiddle tune of the day project. For the next year, I will be posting one new fiddle tune to YouTube each day. Some of them will be me playing solo, and when I can I may have an accompanist, or even another fiddler. I hope […]
