Fun Weekend...Finally!

We went down to Harrison Arkansas and fiddled around...literally. At the NorthArk College, the Arkansas State Oldtime Fiddlers Association had a convention that had hundreds of Fiddlers from all over the state of Arkansas and other states.

Rooms all over the college had dozens of Jam sessions going on at any moment. We were there Friday night and Saturday morning to afternoon time.

There was also a stage that various people performed on.



I got a few tunes of my own and others playing and with this first tune, I wanted to show my fiddle teacher, Ashley Hull - A student of the late Bob Holt's, who was playing my new favorite tune. Its called Kansas City Breakman Blues and I have only heard it once before but apparently she has known it for a while.

I have played Soldiers Joy on here before but I thought I would give you a look at the improvement of the tune since the last time I played it. I couldn't play very fast last time but its much quicker now!

I also decided to throw in Gold Rush:

Brandy took this picture and I thought it was interesting. Normally the base players I see stand...this is a neat way to take care of sore legs.

Here is a small update on the garden stuff. The seedlings are sprouting for the Bell peppers, Tomatoes, Dill, Huckleberries, and Marigolds.

Thanks for lookin'
