Here's my try on this beautiful waltz...

Arkansas Traveler -Cook in the Kitchen

fiddlepogo — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:43:00 CST

Yup, an Old Time tune AND an Irish jig. Not really a medley, I'm just playing Arkansas Traveler once through to establish that, yes indeed, it IS me!!! Cook in the Kitchen is my favorite Irish jig, so I play it a lot. Not sure if I could switch styles as easily to any other Irish tune. And I'm not sure if this attempt qualifies as Irish Trad (I doubt it, actually) or will be derided as "Celtic". But I tried!!! Same recording setup as before with the two Naiant X-Qs, no effects.

Fiddlin' Banjo Billy Mathews on fiddle Christine Breen on banjo and Suzi Vause is fiddlin' in there too. Got this tune from a central Illinois fiddler Laura Sleade. We were at a festival so there is a bit of background noise here and there. One of my new favorite tunes! Key of D.

Buzzards in Love (wind ensemble demo)

Roger Aldridge — Thu, 26 May 2011 14:33:00 CST

In case folks in the fiddle community are thinking that I've totally lost my mind in posting this music, there is a method to my madness. :)) Buzzards in Love is an extended piece for wind ensemble that I wrote in 2009. The music has a good amount of humor and it's intended to be fun to play. If there is a school or community band in your area, please see if they could be interested in it. A score is available on my page at the American Music Center (AMC link is on my homepage). Contact me for a set of parts. The music is being made available to interested bands for no cost. SO, HOW DOES A FIDDLE COME IN, you are probably asking? The score has several improvisation sections. The "Roadkill Interlude" section (heard as a period of silence in the demo recording) is completely open to anything that is creative and fun. I can easily imagine the band bringing in a fiddle player to cut loose in that section and totally tear it up. Thus, if there is a band in your area and if the director has an open mind and a spirit of adventure, this piece could be a great chance for a fiddler to perform with a band. Note: the MP3 file was generated by Silibelius software and is a rough approximation of how the peice sounds with a real band.

I wrote this multi-part tune for for the book Anthology of Jazz Violin Styles 30 years ago, to explore some of the possibilities of "dawg" style, including fiddle - mandolin harmonies. Glenn Asch was my co-author, and our book is still available as an "archive" edition at Amazon. I'm playing both fiddle and mando on the recording, with my friend Pete Anick on guitar. Ignore the tuning note at the beginning. Hope you enjoy it! Dave

DarcieDeaville — Mon, 6 Sep 2010 22:01:00 CST

On the CD "Livin' on the Lucky Side", by Darcie Deaville, on Taller Dog Music, 2007, "Poison Ivy" was written in about as much time as it takes to listen to it! The genre is Americana-Another song with the tuning CCGC on the fiddle. If anyone wants to know what the other unusual sounding instrument is, email me. Another one of a kind, I decided to call it a Johnny.
