Tune History Articles
The articles below appeared in issues of Fiddler Magazine, a quarterly periodical edited and published by Mary Larsen.
“Fiddle Tune History” is one of the Departments of the magazine; each issue including an article on traditional fiddle tunes from a variety of genres, along with fascinating background and contextual material that for many helps to make playing the tune ‘come alive’.
It’s been my distinct pleasure to have been allowed to indulge myself in this forum for these several years. I thank Ms. Larsen for not only giving me the opportunity to exercise my interest and allowing me free reign to pursue my curiosities, but also for producing a fine periodical that each issue contains much of importance and value about fiddling.
Please be reminded that the articles are written specifically for a periodical that has an audience with a general interest in fiddling. I have written the pieces to entertain and inform, and not for academic purpose or scholarship; save my own edification and the indulgence of my readers.
