Love this tune and have been working on it for quite a while, finally got at least 1 run through fairly close to accurate.

This song was originally written for the mandolin, with a friend of mine from Oklahoma. I am finally beginning to be able to play some of this stuff on the fiddle. :-)

Having fun with this one. Pushing to try and smooth out my playing on faster tunes. Can't play waltzes all the time.

Here's the Cigar Box Fiddle. I think it's maturing slowly, and sounding better all of the time.

In honor of my new Fiddler Magazine T shirt, here's Possum Up a Gum Stump on my Cigar Box Fiddle. It's been together for two years now, and holding up pretty well, still amazed at the sound.

First attempt to record this. Playing it on the Nippon fiddle with the Woodwiz soundpost. This used to be an extremely harsh sounding fiddle with crazy overtones, it would almost make my head hurt, then Michael worked on it. Thought it appropriate to give credit where credit is due.

Having fun with my first really decent bow, (a Codabow) and the Stainer. I think it's going to be a good combination!!

Here's a song I wrote about 3-4 years ago, originally just my old 1893 Lakeside parlor guitar, complete with oak back and sides and the vocal. Thought I'd try to add some cigar box fiddle to it, kind of pleased with the way it came out. Here's hoping there's no blues under your Christmas Tree. :-)

I'm still just learning this one, but it's starting to okay! I'm playing it on my Hopf.
