You Can be a FiddleStar

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

<p>There’s no greater feeling than when you’ve just successfully completed your Sunday morning duet recording at #nashvilleacousticcamps All our campers can tell you that living through it and getting to hear how much better it turned out than you ever expected is the most awesome feeling. #nashvilleclawhammercamp #oldtime #banjo #happydance (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>Don’t judge me but I think my favorite part of going to @cartervintageguitars on Friday night of camp is heading next door to @zollikoffee to get fruity pebble rice krispy treats. #aintnoshameinmygame #fruitypebbles #banjo #nashvilleclawhammercamp #oldtime (at Carter Vintage Guitars)</p>

<p>This photo was taken in Denmark almost seven years ago and our friendship is stronger, our jokes are funnier, and our hair is shorter. Come see us play our songs and share in the joy of the holiday season. #meganandmarysue #allyearlong #singersongwriter #californiatour (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>Rest in peace - Royce Franklin. He was one of the greatest to ever play Texas style rhythm guitar and besides that, a helluva guy who always had time and a tune for everyone. And not just breakdowns - he even asked me to play a waltz once, and then handed me a swig of Ancient Age and told me I’d played it pretty. Meant the world to me. He was one of the architects of an entire musical style and he inspired countless musicians. He will be remembered. #roycefranklin #gibsonguitars #texasstyle (at Roanoke, Texas)</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...
