Music Report

Over the past few years, I have transcribed several tunes to sheet music. When purchasing from the list, please specify the name of the tune, whether you would like to receive the sheet music and audio files via email or postal mail, and your appropriate address. If the tune you want is not listed, you may email me an audio file for personalized transcription to sheet music.

Accompanists Report

Let me share a lesson taught to me by my grandfather and practiced by most well known Texas fiddlers. When you enter a fiddle contest, you want the best accompanists you can afford, and Texas is the place to find them. Most contests in Texas allow 3 accompanists plus 1 bass. If you decide to use a full powerhouse behind you and increase your odds of winning a contest, you should anticipate paying each one of them 10% of your total winnings. For example, the Texas State Championship Fiddlers' Frolics pays the winner $1,500.
