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

<p>Almost ten years ago I was introduced to the incredible Sylvia Harrelson Ganier (by my friend Casey Henry) and I knew from that moment that she would be an ongoing inspiration in my life. In the last few years she has turned her small herb and vegetable CSA into one of the most well-respected and innovative farms and event centers in all of Tennessee. I’ve bought bushels of delicious produce and other local foods and products there over the years but I always get a lot more than that. I’ve learned to stay focused, develop your community, and follow your vision. It doesn’t hurt that Sylvia employs half of the East Nashville bluegrass scene to work in the store and play the weddings. I like when the new kids have jobs… I’m so grateful for women like Sylvia with equal amounts of love and drive. #thankfulthursday is all about that. #nashville #womeninbusiness #womenwhofarm #greendoorgourmet  (at Green Door Gourmet)</p>

Backstage at the Opry, getting ready to cheer on @fsolivan and Dirty Kitchen in their Opry debut! Tune in to @wsmradio online or in your car to listen and cheer from wherever you are. I’m so excited for them! @opry #bluegrass #oprydebut @tylerandal making a fine cameo, by the way… (at Grand Ole Opry)

<p>Would you get in a van with this man??? Not only does @fsolivan teach and play some of the finest mandolin in the known universe, he also makes airport runs. Have I mentioned today how much we love and appreciate the musicians with whom we get the privilege to work? #hesagiver #borntodrive #nashvillemandolincamp #mandolin  (at Fiddlestar Camps)</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...
