Here's a tune I've been liking a lot from the new Spencer/Rains CD. Trying to nail the rhythm by using a metronome, and coming up a bit short, but it's close.

Written about my Father in Law's(Buster) fiddle. An old Saxony fiddle, with many scars and repairs.

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

My 1890's Lamy fiddle made in Paris, wanted to play this song today. I felt a bit like an observer rather than a participant as it just poured out. Had to share.

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. :-)

A nice tune I've been learning, playing it on the cigar box fiddle's 9th birthday.

Almost got this one. 737 courtesy of DSM International Airport. LOL. Not sure who to credit the odd beeps to.

Another tune with syncopation, that I have been needing to try and nail down. This one is still kicking my hiny a bit, but it's getting closer.

Warning, No fiddle content here. Just a new song I've written in the aftermath of losing my wife to cancer a few months ago, about finding comfort in habits that develop over the years, but don't mean the same thing now. You might find it amusing, you might not, I'm not really sure.
