Newer posts →. Summer Tunes and Songs. August 25, 2013. Just back from Alex Caton’s Fiddle Camp. My last stop on a summer tour filled with lots of new musical inspiration, new friends, and, of course, new tunes! Going back to June, I had the opportunity to back Sara Read (fiddle) and Monika Fallon (singing/flute) on the forthcoming BRIMS CD. Next up was Swannanoa. I took three classes this year – Mandolin I with Marla Fibish. Who was new to me. Really enjoyed her class and have also been enjoying her...

How do you play that tune, anyway? A Case for Guitar →. Session I Class – Jan 2014. January 15, 2014. If you enjoy fiddle and banjo, you missed a fabulous display of it last night with Kevin Burke and John Carty. Here are a couple of sets from Patrick Street (Kevin, John, Andy Irvine and Arty McGlynn). A Set of Reels. A lovely composition by Turlough O’Carolan (and if you don’t know who that is, start the video at the beginning for an explanation by Kevin). Have a listen here. Here’s another version.

Summer Tunes and Songs. How do you play that tune, anyway? Session I Class – Fall 2013. September 4, 2013. Good to have Jim back in class this week. So in his honor, Lark in the Morning. So this week, our tune was Devaney’s Goat. This is a nice straight forward rendition of it (with an appropriate backdrop). Here’s another version. Of the version I originally learned. Which you can listen to here: Brenda Stubbert’s Reel (Am). Also, you might enjoy hearing a set played by Brenda Stubbert. Well, apparently...

Pipe on the Hob | Jigathons
https://stujames.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/pipe-on-the-hob
The Earl’s Chair. Trad Tunes Fall 2011 →. Pipe on the Hob. October 6, 2011. This week, Alex taught Patrick Ourseau’s version of Pipe on the Hob which is a completely different tune than the one I know. You might know this version from the Live at Mona’s CD which, not surprisingly, features Patrick on Fiddle and is a also great “source for tunes” CD! Pipe on the Hob (reel) Listen. Pipe on the Hob (Alternate version) Watch. So, who knows how we ended up with different versions out there? Pipe on the Hob.
