The playing is a little rough in places, but it's all about letting you hear the sound of this fiddle anyway.

Or.......Josephine's Waltz. I picked this one up at Winfield this year and can't stop playing it. Also I'm happy to be playing it on a new to me fiddle. Located it at Winfield also, thanks to the folks at Beautiful Music out of Lawrence, Kansas. It just struck me as something I couldn't proceed further down this journey any farther without. It's a mid to late 1800's Hopf, with great wood, no cracks, and a very appealing tone.

Love this Jim Childress tune. Played in AEAE. I'm still working on the timing of it, but the notes are coming along fine.

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

I've been working on the timing on this one, thus the metronome in the background, finally getting it fairly close.

I'm liking this tune off of the new Rhys Jones CD. Playing on the mouse hole Stainer.

Love this tune, and it's being played on my Cigar Box Fiddle, which is 6 years old today.

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.

Still working on the timing a bit, but it's starting to sound like I want it to.

Acoustic fiddle sound, sound using The Band, both clean and with delay and reverb.

Thinking about the folks fighting the flood waters down in Louisiana today. I like this tune, and there's about as many versions of it, as there are people that play it, but this is how I learned it.

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