My attempts at playing old-time fiddle tunes – and posting some of my own tunes
Play along
WARNING! This page is at the experimental stage. Recording myself has been a humbling experience – my fiddle is not always in tune, I don’t keep time nearly as well as I thought I did and I appear to think that emulating Glenn Gould by grunting and humming (grumming?) while playing will help. However, if I wait until I am perfect, this page will never happen… My sincere apologies if I have (quite unintentionally) appropriated someone else’s tune as my own.
