We played Skip Flatt's cd on our road trip in the North Carolina Mountains. What a rush! His finger-picking guitar style went seamlessly with the winding road to Boone.

I think the slow beginning was great. The tune (with its wonderful title ) makes more sense this way. There's sadness at the start, and then spirits rise.

A nice tune, a funny joke, but wow! at 2:30 the camera paused on the lady fiddler's face, and it is as beautiful as a master's drawing from the Italian Renaissance.

All your posts are terrific...and it's clear to me you've hit upon the most important detail of all for any performer- a distinctive hat.

Hi Matt- As a self-taught fiddler, I rarely (read never) leave 1st position. Should I go to second and third position, and try to play simple tunes until they become easy? Will there be an 'interplay' between those positions I can use to improve?

Have you read 'Memories of the Ford Administration' ? Updike's prose flows like poetry

Monica- I love your renditions- I guess I'll have to learn 3rd and fifth positions to play anywhere near as fine as you. Thank you.

I really enjoy your playing. And the acoustics in your garage are terrific! Please post more.

I attended a house concert last night, that featured Russ Edwards. He was terrific! He performed the songs on his new cd-'We Call Them Cowboys' Great lyrics and great music; he is a true artist.

I sat before my computer and applauded. Brava!

the freedom in your arm and wrist is a joy to watch. Great playing.
