New Weekly Video Series on YouTube!

Once Upon a Tune
02. Kittypuss


"Once Upon a Tune" is a video series designed to document as many of the hundreds of traditional fiddle tunes I have learned over the past fifty-five years as I can get done. A new video is slated to be posted every week on YouTube. Many of the tunes were learned directly from older generation fiddlers from throughout the Southern Appalachians. Although these tunes have been translated from fiddle and some banjo versions to the dulcimer, I have always endeavored to maintain the rhythmic and melodic sensibilities of the old-style fiddlers. I am in the process of posting more in depth Biographies, as well as stories and descriptions of personal interactions of these musical mentors on my Patreon Page.

Your support helps me focus on my ongoing efforts to document personal experiences and knowledge of music and history gifted to me by older generation mountain musicians, mostly gone before.
It is my intention to honor the past and have a positive effect on the future through the performance, preservation and perpetuation of traditional Appalachian Music, the creation of original, personal and socially concious art, as well as continued study of relaxation and rejuvenation exercise.
Your support also aids in my reasearch and acquisition of existing recordings of past masters as well as more conemporary musicians to be played on-air on "Close to Home" , my long running weekly radiobroadcast. I've been a volenteer on-air Public Radio host since 1985.
Follow me on Patreon for as little as five dollars a month.
