Retreat tease

FIRST LOOK!! Here is TRACK #1 from "FIDDLINDA: There & Then, Here & Now!!! This is fiddling by someone who grew up in California, was a regular at Texas style fiddle contests but then got entranced by Irish music. I love the melodies, the interplay, the bounce of the rhythm...dedicated to Tony.

Tony's Celebration

Written for Fel Bautista, a great Uillean piper from southern California, who I met in Jackson, Mississippi. It's a long story.

This a set of tunes recorded at Paradise Studios in Sacramento, California just a few months before Chris and I moved back to Texas in 2011. Our good friend, multi-instrumentalist and former bandmate Kathy Barwick is playing the guitar. We used to put this set of tunes after a song - the first is Mayor Harrison's Fedora, second is Father Kelly. Both are fairly standard tunes in modern Irish sessions. Special thanks to Kbar for sharing this recording!!

Another one from recording with Kathy Barwick back in Sacramento - this is a set of tunes I've been playing since the Contest days back in the 80s...Chief O'Neill's is a trad tune not commonly played in today's Irish sessions but every now and then; and Cuckoo's Nest has been played a few times in contests, I think. This track was recorded at Paradise Studios in Sacramento, with the fabulous Craig Long doing the engineering - he's one of the best I've ever worked with!! The clarity of this recording is pretty awesome, and of course anything played with Kbar is great!!
