You Can be a FiddleStar

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

He did it! I’m not saying he loved it. I don’t think we can go that far. But we can say he didn’t hate it and that his little doggy paddle instincts kicked right in once he hit the water. Nine and a half years old and swimming for the very first time - today was a good day. #bostonterrier #oldhickorylake #bostonsofinstagram #flatnosedogsociety (at Old Hickory Lake and Beach)

<p>Good times and good music at @timruddell and Ali’s housewarming party this afternoon. As I am still relatively new to old time music, I really enjoyed the opportunity to play with some of my favorite musicians and people. I learned about 15 great new tunes. I already remember none of them. #oldtimeishard #fiddle #warmingthehouse  (at Historic Old Hickory Village)</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...
