Here's a note to all my fiddler pals. I was happy to get an advanced copy of the Summer issue of Fiddler Magazine. There's a great story of Paul Brown and you'll see his visage on the cover. Jay and Molly Ungar are working on a new project and in the telling provide a couple new fiddle tunes. There's an article on the fiddling of Chubby Wise and the tune Ashes of Love. I've known this tune for many years and wondered just what Wise was doing with it. Well it's all scored in detail now. Then there are the usual department articles all wrapped up in a nice neat magazine. And, there is an tale about a fiddle made by the man to taught me to play and its unlikely restoration. "The Story of the Apple Fiddle" This is my first article in what I think is the top source for music, folklore and instruction for fiddlers of all styles from around the world. Fiddler Magazine! I am so very happy and honored that they liked my story. Fiddler Magazine
