You Can be a FiddleStar

I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.

<p>I’m still having coughing fits and not entirely 💯 but it’s time to get back to work. I’m not sure there are any episodes of Law and Order left to watch. I miss my students and my fiddle. Alright everybody, Red Wing! #fiddle #vog_nicola #fluevog #bronchitisbedamned #fiddleteacher @clawhammerist  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>2016 had to sneak one more in. So ridiculous. There are some absolutely genius musical moments on every George Michael album and yes, he was a pop icon, but he was also a true musician and artist. And he was the soundtrack to every one of our 7th grade dance parties, not for nothin… #georgemichael #rip  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>Merry Christmas from the couch. I’m sick and he’s tired. I’m quarantined today but I’m still full of the spirit of the season. I wish for everyone a little curiosity and a lot of peace. #watchinglegallyblonde #quarantinedforchristmas #bostonterrier #sirwinstoncup  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>The Nashville version of blowing out the candles on your birthday cake is breaking open the fried egg on the top of your @cityhousenashville pizza. #neverdisappoints #nashville  (at City House)</p>

<p>Good morning! I’m not going to say anything cheesy or extra hippie about the solstice, but I really really want to. This was the view on our morning walk. #solstice #themorningconstitutional  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained. ~ Marie Curie #thingsmybostonterriertaughtme #sirwinstoncup #bostonterrier #flatnosedogsociety #bostonterriercult (at Fiddlestar)

<p>@kstockwell somehow knew I wanted a jaunty-brimmed knit hat for my birthday. She is my knitting heroine and also a kickass friend. I’d like to think of myself as an awesome combo of elf and that guy from Home Alone. #jauntybrim #handmadebirthdaypresentsarethebest  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>This is one of the best things about being a musician - playing music for people who need a little song in their hearts. Thank you to @davinialeeme for having us at the #sarahcannon center this morning. Fun fact, see all the beautiful holiday decorations on the wall behind me? Most of that flocking ended up on my butt. #merrychristmas #cancersucks #meganandmarysue  (at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center)</p>

<p>I did a little Christmas shopping today at the #shoppesonfatherland and lo and behold I found this right here. This is a Max and he does belong to people already so you can’t buy him. But you can sit on the floor and hang out with him for a really long time. Makes shopping better. No kidding. @gifthorsenashville #flatnosedogsociety #bostonterrierlove #bostonterrier #nashville  (at Gift Horse)</p>

I am excited to embark on a new chapter of my working life - I recently gave my notice to the Pam Tillis organization and will no longer be touring with her or Lorrie Morgan (on their awesome Grits and Glamour Tour). I must admit, I'm sad to be leaving. It's been an incredible four years and I have learned so much. Thanks to Pam, her amazing husband/manager Matt Spicher, and my bandmates, especially the lovely and talented Mary Sue Englund, with whom I spent more time over the last few years than I did with my husband. And I wouldn't trade a minute of it...
