You Can be a FiddleStar

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

<p>Explored #newnashville with a view of #oldnashville with my dear @ashbyfrank this afternoon. Neither of us recognize our adopted home anymore but damn the dumplings are delicious. </p>

<p>I wish Dick Barrett was still around to see how much all three of us (and all the dozens of others) still love and obsess over the fiddle. It was great having these two at camp this weekend. They came to work on moving forward with their own playing but we managed to have a lot of laughs and trips down memory lane about our past lives as contest fiddlers together. Fiddle friends are the best friends.</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...
