http://fiddleforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Old-Time music, playing the fiddle, the lap dulcimer, and other topics as the desire arises. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Coffee and Dance This Weekend. In addition to this being the last chance for people to see the play that I've directed for West End Players. I'm also playing a dance on Sunday night with the Mound City Slickers for The Childgrove Dancers. I should also mention that my other band, The Hot Baloney Boys will be playing this Sunday morning at The Hartford Coffee Company. But i...

Thoughts on Old-Time music, playing the fiddle, the lap dulcimer, and other topics as the desire arises. Monday, April 13, 2009. Kim and Jim Lansford's New CD. Late last week the mailman dropped a copy of Kim and Jim Lansford's. Keep Your Eye Upon The Sparrow. Into my mailbox (thanks, Kim! I've only had a chance to listen to it a couple of times, but I can say, it's pretty durn. Remains one of the best multi-instrumentalist string players around. So far, stand out tracks for me are "Sal's Got a Meatskin.

Fiddle For Breakfast: Back from Springfield & a video
http://fiddleforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2009/06/back-from-springfield-video.html
Thoughts on Old-Time music, playing the fiddle, the lap dulcimer, and other topics as the desire arises. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Back from Springfield and a video. We (the rest of the Mound City Slickers and I) made it back from our road trip to Springfield, MO in the heart of the Ozarks, where we played a dance last night. Had a real good time having Chinese food for dinner and playing for a small, but enthusiastic crowd. Of course, having Debi Harp call the figures for us was a treat! Folk School on TV.

Wish I could have stayed home and played tunes. But a paycheck called and here I am at my desk. So far, the only person in my office to show up! Maybe I should have brought the fiddle in with me. Sunday, January 25, 2009. Mound City Slickers @ Cape Girardeau. Monday, January 19, 2009. Where we played a ton. We sto...

Fiddle For Breakfast: February 2009

Thoughts on Old-Time music, playing the fiddle, the lap dulcimer, and other topics as the desire arises. Monday, February 23, 2009. The work on my shoulder I mentioned in a previous post has been scheduled for Friday, March 6. Should be a pretty easy procedure and will only require one night in hospital and a couple of weeks of no playing to recuperate. Late notice, I know. I'll be playing a short set with the Hot Baloney Boys tonight at the Atomic Cowboy. Hope to see some folks we know there. Geoffrey J...

Thoughts on Old-Time music, playing the fiddle, the lap dulcimer, and other topics as the desire arises. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Does anyone else besides me find it really strange that Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones both formerly of Led Zeppelin have become big players in the old-time/bluegrass/roots music scene? Then I began hearing about Jones showing up and hanging out at some festivals; Merlefest and (though this could be apocryphal) Mt. Airy. I know that when I was a young sprat in the early 1970&#...
