I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.
One of the best things about the Weisberger/Lynch holiday dinner is that it often doubles as a party to welcome new musicians to town. I’m proud that these fellow Californians now call Nashville home. The Bay Area’s loss is definitely our gain… These three are aces. #nashville #bluegrass #thefamilyyouchoose (at Cottontown, Tennessee)
Every year (since 2004!) I look forward to taking this exact picture. The Weisberger/Lynch Chowning turkey dinner is one of the best holidays ever. I’m not big on tradition, but this tradition is special. #thefamilyyouchoose #turkey #shropshire (at Cottontown, Tennessee)
It’s nice to be home. #sirwinstoncup #bostonterrier #catfishface #bostonterrierlove #flatnosedogsociety (at Fiddlestar)
Heading back to Nashville. This tour has been a whirlwind of tunes and tears and laughs and love and alliteration. Thank you to everyone who hosted us, fed us, and came to share an evening of music with us. If you weren’t able to join us in person you can still download or purchase our Christmas album or purchase a song greeting card featuring the title track from that album, All Year Long, by going to www.fiddlestar.com and clicking on the store page. We have loved every minute of this. And special thanks to our agent, Mur, who is like a super hero. #allyearlong #meganandmarysue (at Oakland International Airport)
The view from my mother’s kitchen window. It’s California 1956 if you ask me. She has this beautiful bird feeder that my Papa made and we love to watch the birds gather around it. This one is a bit confusing though. Can you help identify it @hiltnerj ? #notabirdnerd #allyearlong #californiatour #birdsimeetontour (at Hayward, California)
Gidget on the left, Rocky on the right. These two were fluffy tricksters with magical powers. They like fiddle tunes and treats. We have everything in common. #dogsimeetontour #allyearlong #meganandmarysue #californiatour (at Rescue, California)
Last night our house concert hosts baked 10 different types of cookies, laid out chocolates and homemade toffee, and made us our very own lasagne. This afternoon we had an awesome show at the Quayles’ house in Alameda and there was more toffee AND homemade lumpia which Mary Sue kept calling chicken rolls. This tour is awesome. #allyearlong #californiatour #meganandmarysue #treats (at Rescue, California)
Last night our house concert hosts baked 10 different types of cookies, laid out chocolates and homemade toffee, and made us our very own lasagne. Come see us in Alameda this afternoon and find out what treats we’re eating today. This tour is awesome. #allyearlong #californiatour #meganandmarysue #treats (at Rescue, California)
Just when I thought there wouldn’t be any dogs on this tour… This is definitely the way to start the day. Also, come see me at my fiddle workshop today - I’m going to teach super awesome stuff. And then we’re playing a house concert tonight and you should also come to that. All the detailed info is at FiddleStar dot com but if you’re in the Sacramento/Folsom area, tonight’s show is the one for you! #allyearlong #californiatour #meganandmarysue #dogsimeetontour (at Rescue, California)
It might be the best ever. @tonyspizza415 #pizza #eatattonys (at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana)
