Ive added a couple of new tunes to my homepage. One is a tune called "Fiesta Labrie" and the other is
"The Reel of the Metis".
They can be found here, I believe.

Glad you like the tune. I'm playing all the instruments. There is no piano.
I have a regular old mandolin and also a telecaster guitar playing the melody as well, at the same time as the fiddle. Nearing the end of the sound clip I have a 5 string fiddle playing the melody an octave lower than the 4 string fiddle along with the tele pickin' the melody as well. It gives it a pretty neat sound, I think. Also 4 sets of wooden spoons join in at the same place.
Fiddle, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, tele and 5 string fiddle are all the instruments and I'm clogging my feet throughout the whole tune as well as spoons in a few places.

Fellow fiddlers, do go to Calvin's site and lend an ear. It's mighty good stuff!
"Play loud!" My former fiddle teacher barked when I asked him how I could improve my tone.
