Megan Lynch Chowning does a wonderful performance of The Banks Hornpipe on YouTube. Any chance of her doing a detailed lesson here?

Hi, Roger.
That’s a great tune, sir. I think it’s actually a trad celtic tune, but Ricky brought it into the bluegrass genera with that album/tour. Andy Leftwich crushes it on the fiddle. If I ever get back into the studio, I’ll cut a lesson on this one. C

Hi, Kitegal.
Yes there are several more Kevin tunes to be produced. I have been super busy, and the upcoming summer is filled with a bunch of travel/music…but I’ll try to find some breaks to keep working on material. All the best!

Thanks

Sylvia,
I’ll check in with Casey on Kevin Burke. I believe there are some videos of Kevin in post production.
Casey is usually pretty busy with various projects but he’ll get back to us.
Thanks for your inquiry.

Hi George,
If memory serves, there are more tunes from Kevin still in the backlog which have not been published yet on Fiddlevideo. If so, when will we see more of those here? He is my big favorite too 🙂
Thank you! – Sylvia

Roger,
My wife’s maiden name is Spencer so my interest is piqued. Maybe Mr. Ricky wrote that tune, it sounds like like 100 other fiddle tunes I’ve heard.
Brings a joke to mind: “you know why fiddle tunes have names?” “So you can tell them apart!”

I learned of another tune in B that’s fun to play. It’s called The Road To Spencer by Ricky Skaggs. It’s a very Irish sounding tune but when asked about it, Ricky laughs and responds that he composed it on the way to a gig in Spencer Iowa.

Kevin is the King!
Welcome Ency,
Casey asked me to help with moderating his site. As you probably know, Kevin is based here in “West Coast Portland”.
It has been a treat to see him over the years. He has been less active lately. Fortunately, we have great content here on the site.
Enjoy,

Greetings Fellow Fiddlers. My understanding spouse & I are considering making a pilgrimage to Cape Breton this summer to scope out the area, enjoy seafood and most importantly check out the fiddling. Dates are flexible but most likely mid July into mid August. Can any of you recommend items to see, activities to enjoy, and most importantly where…[Read more]

Working on leading solos in slower jams, and feeling confident to take a solo on a song I don’t know.

Darren,
Casey has me helping out with forum moderation.
I’ll add your tunes to the request list. Production takes some time. Casey is juggling a few projects.
In the mean time, you better put that lifetime membership to use and dig into some of the great content on the site.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I have a lifetime membership here but have never really used it, and I want to do better at taking advantage of that.
From what I can tell it looks like there may be a request list out there floating around in the ether somewhere, so I’d like to nominate Waltz for Bridget and Yellow Rose Waltz as possibilities to get added into the…[Read more]

Chris,
I wish I lived in Carmel Valley, it’s beautiful.
I used to wonder why people waited until retirement/senior age to learn an instrument.
When I retired, I realized it’s the free time that liberates people to take new life endeavors.
Best wishes,
