You Can be a FiddleStar

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

<p>Finally got a display rack for the #daleearnhardt collector plates we got from @tylerandal Because decor should be thoughtful and classy. #martinguitar #3 (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)</p>

<p>Now that’s what I like to see! But even more than that, as a judge I was so grateful that the caliber of the traditional division jumped mightily this year. And the thing is, @tylerandal had a huge hand in making that happen. He invited and cajoled and encouraged as many great fiddlers to come compete as he could. Not only is he a champion fiddler, he is a generous friend and musician and that’s even better. Congratulations Tyler. #fiddle #oldtime #grandmasters (at Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum)</p>

<p>Backstage at the #opry with these two great fiddlers - right before we went on stage to represent the #grandmasters - such an honor. Between us and the Mel Tillis band, not to mention @combsmatt and #woodypaul and #kennysears I’m pretty sure there were more #fiddles on stage in one night than the Opry has seen in a long while. #morefiddle (at Grand Ole Opry)</p>

<p>A motley crew to be sure, but I’m proud to be in the company of such fine fiddlers. We’re judging it how we hear it… #fiddle #grandmasters #fiddlecontest #squad (at Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum)</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...
