Tarantella – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 154

I love playing at weddings, and it’s even more fun when you have things to make the wedding more interesting. This weekend, I had the pleasure of playing at a wedding where a substantial part of the family was Italian, and they wanted to hear the Tarantella. Since I had never played the Tarantella before, […]

How Great Thou Art – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 153

How Great Thou Art is a beautiful old Hymn, and it was the most popular request on the Facebook Fiddler’s Association when I asked what the most beautiful tune ever was. My personal favorite is What a Wonderful World. So, by popular request, here is How Great Thou Art.     How Great Thou Art […]

Makin’ Whoopee – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 142

I used to play this tune a lot with my dad and Grandpa when I was a kid, but we never played the B part – It has some tricky chords, which could be the reason we didn’t play it. I have a clear memory of playing it at the Big Band Boogie Ball – […]

Clarinet Polka – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 136

I never really play Clarinet Polka. I know the melody, and I have taught it to a student here or there, but I haven’t ever worked it up or played it publicly (before tonight.) It’s not that I don’t like it, or think it’s cool. I guess it has just sat there on the periphery […]

Bye Bye Blues – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 134

Bye Bye Blues has been my dad’s favorite tune to play on tenor banjo for as long as I can remember. I really like how he takes off with it, speeding it up to breakneck speed. I’m still amazed at how fast he can whip that banjo up. Today, we put on a Mother’s Day […]

Heart and Soul – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 129

OK, before you start picking on me because Heart and Soul isn’t really a fiddle tune, know this: Fiddle Tune a Day is my game and I get to make up the rules. 🙂 And, for the purposes of this game, Heart and Soul counts. Moving on. I had a great time down at the […]

Kentucky Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 128

Wow! I REALLY must have been tired last night when I recorded my fiddle tune a day. The first tune I recorded was one I had already recorded – just 24 days previously. DOH!!! So, when I sat down at my computer to import the video, I had this feeling like I may have made […]
