You Can be a FiddleStar

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

<p>This record taught me more about what was possible in music than just about anything I can think of. Prince, thank you for everything you created. #rip</p>

<p>Making Mike Chew’s bed, getting ready for #nashvilleclawhammercamp this weekend. I guess #sirwinstoncup is taking the name of Mike’s company a little too literally. #dogwoodbanjos #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult #flatnosedogsociety #banjocamp (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>#sirwinstoncup and I went out for an afternoon walk and it was so beautiful out and we were having such a lovely time that we just wanted to stop and take a moment to say hello and hi and howdy. We both hope you’re having a fantastic week and that you’re enjoying yourselves thoroughly. #springfever #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult #flatnosedogsociety  (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)</p>

<p>I had a beautiful lunch with beautiful @marysueenglund and of course I just took a photo of the food. Sorry Mary Sue. You’re prettier than the food but I was really hungry. @dozenbakerynashville is our new favorite spot. Thanks to @batchusa for the recommendation! #cornichons #salami  (at Dozen Bakery)</p>

<p>Here’s the place where I bought the delicious pie from a few posts back. After standing and staring admiringly at the outside, imagine my delight when I walked inside and discovered it was full of pie. #pie #houseofpies #standardnotationfence  (at Emporium Pies)</p>

<p>During my three plus hour weather delay at Dallas Love Field I discovered @stampede66restaurant by @chefpyles and found myself happily eating ceviche in an airport. Boy, times sure have changed. #eatingrawfishinanairport #trioofdips  (at Stampede 66 by Stephan Pyles)</p>

<p>Looks like law enforcement is really cracking down, so if you’re in Burleson and thinking of getting out of the cockfight game, now is the time. #goingstraight #bealovernotafighter #burleson  (at Burleson, 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...
