My band is just me and my fiddle. I started learning to play after my 65th birthday,and I haven't had this much fun since I discovered girls. I don't consider myself a good fiddler, but be grateful, I ain't as bad as I was. The tunes put up on this site will be mostly old tunes selected for two reasons. First, because I like the tune, and second, I can play the tune at a level that it is recognizable.
This "operation" is new. My history is learning how to tune the fiddle and where to put the fingers.
I play live every chance I get. I have played at Carver's Bluegrass Festival at Atlanta, Texas, The Strange Family Bluegrass Park in Texarkana, Texas, The Cypress Creek Bluegrass Festival in Adona, Arkansas, and various small time fiddle contests in Texas.
I am influenced most by the "hillbilly" music of the 40's that I listened to in my youth.
I play fiddles made by W. W. "Skinny" Trammell of Lone Star, Texas. I have his first and twenty-third fiddles.
This music is all about fun to me. I enjoy playing and listening to accoustic music, especially fiddle tunes.
