I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.
Yesterday was #recordstoreday and because of #nashvilleclawhammercamp I wasn’t able to get to an actual record store. But one of our campers brought me these gems, just because he’s super thoughtful and our campers are the best and he remembered that I loved Uncle Walt’s Band. I thought I’d show them off in honor of great records in general. Not for nothin’, he also actually engineered one of these albums. I’m in heaven. #unclewaltsband #legends #greatvinyl (at Fiddlestar)
Pro tip: Do not let these three people sit together in the back row of your show. (Side note - my leg was touching Kathy Mattea’s leg during this picture.) #fangirl #nashville #bluegrass (at Station Inn)
Happy birthday to my big chosen brother @curmud.geon We didn’t actually choose each other, our parents did, but I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He’s weird. The best kind. #bigbrotherbirthday #weird
Nothing more terrifying for a dog than coming around the corner to find your dad has picked up a banjo. #nashvilleclawhammercamp #banjo #sirwinstoncup #bostonterrier (at Fiddlestar)

Very much enjoying the evening of the loveliest music from some of the loveliest people. @clawhammerist #oldtime #haaskowerttice #adamhurt #fiddle #clawhammercamp #banjo @timruddell @cespeed (at Station Inn)
It was only a matter of time before @rossholmesfiddle roped me into one of these. Man’s a lunatic. I mean, genius. If you’re not following him, you should. Learn to break a bow. Learn how musicians write off super important business purchases. Learn the A part of Sally Ann. This video may be one minute, but it’s a lifetime of knowledge. #taxday #fiddle #unclesam #theviolinshop #nashville #writeoff #mancub #malibubarbie @rossholmesfiddle @immamiller @tylerandal @brianosonfun @aprilcarpie @theviolinshop @fiddleflip @markevitts (at The Violin Shop)
Registration opens May 1, 9am Central. Are you a grownup? Are you just starting to learn to play the fiddle or are you wanting to start? Do you think a fiddle camp isn’t for you because it’s only for fancy people who can already play? WRONG. #fiddlecamp #youhavetostartsomewhere #beginnersrule #fiddle #fiddlestar (at Fiddlestar)
In case you were having a bad day, here’s my grandson and a bunny. #fluffybunny #cole (at Orlinda, Tennessee)
Why can’t every day be poetry day? #allthreethings #yeats (at Fiddlestar)
