Hi Steve Eulberg here. My fiddling pal, Vi Wickam, from our duo, Fiddle Whamdiddle is on a quest--to play and record a fiddle tune A DAY throughout 2012. (Pretty ambitious)Yesterday we played this O'Carolan piece together for Day 43.If you want to build up your repetoire of fiddle tunes, subscribe to get them in your mailbox each day! www.vithefiddler.com From Vi's commentary: "This is one of those Irish melodies that I have long recognized, but didn't really know the origins of it. It's a beautiful tune, and from what I have been t...
Well played. This is one of my favorite tunes. I play it on mandolin and may try learning it in dulcimer now.
That was lovely Steve
Ha! You live on the edge of the edge, Kimberly!
Very nice!
Karen and Kimberly, Vi is a very gifted musician with an incredible ear and a facility on his instrument to pick up tunes very quickly, so despite the goal being very ambitious, I'm sure he'll reach it! And since he's been learning tunes for a l-o-n-g time, he has plenty already in his fingers and fiddle to share ;-) WS Eyster, you're very welcome!
And if you want to follow Vi's daily progress, head over to Fiddle Tune A Day and bookmark the page, or sign up for a fiddle tune a day in your email box!

Hey Steve and Vi, and what a great idea, although for me, it would probably be a fiddle tune each month. He He. No seriously, you guys did a great job, love the tune and you play well together.
Thanks for the applause, Diane!
Wayne, I've loved it too and usually play it on Hammered Dulcimer, but I'm liking this way even more!
Dusty, the weaving is what is really fun about playing with Vi. (Also got a chance to do the same thing with Bryan Bowers at the house concert I hosted for him last Saturday, too!)
Carrie--yay! You are most welcome!
Barbara! Thanks for your feedback about DulcimerCrossing and my teaching! We've got lots more in the works over there.
Back to our regularly-scheduled strumming and picking!
Beautiful playing. It's great to hear the fiddle and dulcimer weaving melodies in and around each other.
