Good Morning! Fiddle Club reawakensSpring is sprung. And if you’ve been wondering the same about the Fiddle Club of the World, I’m glad to tell you that it has reawakened from its Winter-long slumber. Announcements of a three or four meetings with featured guest artists will be coming soon. For right now, mark your calendars for Saturday, March 28. Dan Gellert will be in town to perform and jam at a meeting of the Fiddle Club. As soon as I nail down a site, we’ll get the registration information posted here at in the workshop listings at oldtownschool.org. In the meantime, check out the new fiddle pages at oldtownschool.org/fiddle. Teachers are posting information and links in the Flog (Fiddle Students Blog). All tunes are accessible through the archive link. You will also find a jukebox version of the Hands On CD. Check back early and often.

or You can also pick another music program as a default to open mp3 files. Quicktime works better with Internet Explorer, but I don’t care to use that browser. If anyone has any advice for other browsers and platforms, please share it with the rest of the Fiddle Club. Good luck. Paul Back to Paddy Jones tunes.
