The Foxhunter’s Slip Jig is also out for Kevin’s review…

[gusblock]

I don’t see The Jolly Tinker on the list but sure would like to!

[swoolley]

I’ve been listening to Kevin’s albums since the 1980s. I am grateful you have recordings and tutorials for all fiddlers to learn from. Also, you are preserving historical recordings that we will all benefit from. Learning tunes takes years of consistent practice and performing but learning from the fiddlevideo project really helps speed up the process. I’m a fiddle teacher and I am teaching my students the wonderful nuances of these tunes. Thereby, a new generation of fiddlers is learning to love playing the fiddle.

[Casey Willis]

Thanks for this comment, Swoolley. Agreed on the historical aspect…glad to hear you are finding Kevin’s instruction helpful. All the best!
