My Pretty White Kitty (fiddle waltz)

WALTZ OF THE WEEK #35 - My Pretty White Kitty (fiddle waltz by John Dee Kennedy)
This week’s waltz is inspired by my mom and her ragdoll cat Lucy.
There is a field recording of it on “Field recorder’s collective” on bandcamp. I think I may have played this at a dance with Chirps Smith. I learned it from notation in a book I got from him called “The Gettysburg Collection”.

La Partida (Venezuela Waltz)

มุมมอง 1.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน

WALTZ OF THE WEEK #34 - La Partida (Venezuela Waltz) I’m back in my practice room this week with something a little different. Here’s a waltz I picked up from the playing of Ian Walsh. La Partida is a Venezuelan Waltz with a completely seductive lilt to it. I found there is accurate notation on the session. I didn’t find it until after I learned it by ear, but that’s ok because I’ve found tunes...

WALTZ OF THE WEEK #33 - Chestnut Waltz This week’s waltz is direct from the live stream at the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest and festival in Weiser Idaho. I competed in the adult division. This is one of my favorite Randy Howard compositions and I will post it again later with better audio. I wanted to preserve this performance despite the subpar audio, it shows my first try competing at W...

WALTZ OF THE WEEK #26 - Butterfly Waltz This waltz comes from the playing of Joe Pancerzewski. I was gifted his CD “Legendary Northwest Fiddler”, which has lots of great tunes! The liner notes say “From a light opera score, rearranged for dancing”. I believe the CD is out of circulation- it’s on Voyager records and includes a nice bio of Joe, likely written by Vivian Williams. I’m pasting the f...

WALTZ OF THE WEEK #22 - Old South Not too many fiddle waltzes out there played in the key of Bb! It makes for a very spacious left hand feel with lots of sixths and interesting double stop choices.
