There’s a Chrome Extension called “Transpose” that supports live transposition, looping, and tempo customization for any HTML browser. Highly recommended!

Patti, so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Best wishes and prayers for a very long remission.

You have a lot of fiddle fans across Canada and the US that love your playing and teachings, so hang in there, we need you!

I am looking forward to your new batch of tunes.

PS. I love the old batch of tunes too!

Hi, I just stumbled on this and thought I’d send a little update.

I was diagnosed in January 2023 with Multiple Myeloma, cancer of the bone marrow. It was discovered when I fell and broke my right (bowing) arm.

Hi, Elaine. Kevin already recorded a lesson for that tune. I’ll make sure it’s the next one we produce from him. Cheers.

Hi, John.

The most current lessons will always show first when you click on “View All Lessons”. There is currently one lesson out to Megan for review, and we should have a few new from Kevin soon as well. All the best.

Philip,
I’m surprised Brilliancy is not already on the site. That’s a great tune with lots of versions.
I’m most familiar with Eck Robertson’s version. He takes a pass through Bill Cheetham, and Drunken Billy Goat in his medley.
I’ll pass your request onto Casey.
Thanks
George

I would like to challenge Casey to add Brilliancy to his repertoire of online videos. Byron Berline played this but I think it is a part of a Texas medley.

Miss Elaine,
Thanks for the tune request.
Will add to the list for Casey.

George, what a great opportunity you had! I wish I’ll be able to see him play live someday. He’s a great fiddler and performer!

The Fiddler’s Fake Book has a pretty good version of Bluegrass In The Backwoods that seems very close to what Kenny Baker plays. I’m a fiddle hack but have managed to learn it well enough, that if I got together with a guitar player who could provide rhythm, I’d give it a try. Anyway, it’s a good way to start.
