Hi, Andrea. Nope, but I’ll ask Andre to record that one the next time he’s in the studio. I bet he’ll be up for it!

We have guitar tracks ready for three more Andre tunes at this point:

So one of the above tunes will be released next for Andre. And many more to come!!

How bout some Cape Breton tunes?

[Casey Willis]

That makes sense to me, Toolie. I’ve actually reached out to a Cape Breton player to join the site as an instructor in the past month…but haven’t heard back yet…folks are busy!!

But Cape Breton would be a great addition to the site. Any specific recommendations for who I should consider as far as instructors go??

[FiddleFrog]

What about Andrea Beaton? She is a great Cape Breton fiddler and teacher. I

[Casey Willis]

I’ll keep her in mind, FF!

[Andrea_S]

Thanks Casey. And I just want to say how much FV means to me in this difficult time. I am very fortunate in that I am still healthy and just social isolating up here in Canada. FV is a great distraction and provides joy and a sense of connection to a community of fiddlers. Thank you, please keep the new tunes coming as long as you can, and hoping everyone stays healthy. Also putting in a plug on behalf of all professional musicians – take online lessons if you can to help them out as their gigs are cancelled.

[Casey Willis]

Hi, Andrea, and thanks for the comment. Agreed wholeheartedly regarding supporting musicians…this thing is having a huge impact on the pro musician community.

We will continue to push through production on the backlog of tunes. We have hired an additional resource to help on the production side to help get lessons edited and produced.

Right now, we have the below tunes in our pipeline:

Kevin – 45 to 50 tunes
Hanneke – 5-10 tunes
Andre – 20ish tunes
Niall – 10-15 tunes

I will also be pivoting away from production and will start recording new tunes in the coming months.

Stay well!!

C

[Andrea_S]

Awesome!! Thank you.
