You Can be a FiddleStar

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

<p>Yesterday I went to visit my friend @cleliahart to catch up on weeks and weeks of important life things (fine, half of it was gossip and fun stories, shut up) and to get my sparkles updated. #selfcare #hairsparkle #peoplethinkthismeanstheycantouchmyhead #pleasedonttouchmyhead  (at East Nashville, Tennessee)</p>

<p>I was headed all the way to south Nolensville Pike to pick up my new contact lenses today and figured I’d grab Indian food nearby for lunch but then I checked and Taj is closed on Mondays so I tried to think of where to go and I remembered an old IG post from @wilhelminafrankzerda and decided to stop in at Awash Ethiopian and even though while I was here I also determined that my eye doctor is closed on Mondays it didn’t matter because this lunch was delicious and everything is fine now. #hiddennashville #injeraisrad #ladywholunches  (at Awash Ethlopian Restaurant)</p>

<p>Well, we’re a little bit dying over here at #fiddlestar headquarters. Here’s the full page article about our FiddleStar Adult Beginner Camp from the March issue of Strings Magazine and were just beside ourselves. We’re so proud of this camp and what it represents and they even chose to include the photo of Kathy Compton, whose idea it was to start the thing in the first place. Thanks to Megan Westberg for the fabulous write up and for understanding our goals and dreams for beginning fiddlers. Oh, and registration for 2018 Adult Beginner Camp opens May 1. 😉 This year’s instructors include me, @nateleellc and @bronwynkeithhynes And oh, part two, get you a subscription to @stringsmagazine because it is awesome all the time. #fiddle #fiddlecamp #youcanbeafiddlestar #itsnevertoolate  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>A rainy, beautiful weekend of mandolin love. This photo is missing a few people because they had to travel early or because they only taught on Saturday (looking at you, awesome @ashbyfrank) but you can still get a general idea of how fabulous they are. #nashvillemandolincamp #nashvilleacousticcamps #mandolin #bluegrass #swing #oldtime  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>One of the main reasons we even started #nashvilleacousticcamps is so we could just bring all the people we love into our lives on a regular basis and just never have to leave the house. #nashvillemandolincamp #leohickman #mandolin #bluegrass #swing #oldtime  (at Fiddlestar)</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...
