[@SnapNPlayDroid]

bruce has helped make old time fiddle cool again.

[@gutbucket260]

He even played "Voodoo Chile" Hendrix tune old timey style.

[@CourageAndLuck]

It's always been cool. He just helped people to see it hahaha

[@SteveGoldfield]

Both tunes are in AEAC# per the Fiddler's Companion, but you can also hear the C# A E notes when he picks them in the second tune.

[@gutbucket260]

"Calico Tuning" Have no idea why it's called that. Was there an old timey tune called "Calico"?

[@mhandle6025]

@@gutbucket260 Yes, indeed! Search for Marcus Martin's version.

[@SteveGoldfield]

@corc1130 Yes, he's in Calico tuning.

[@SteveGoldfield]

@@mhandle6025 Drunkard's Hiccups is also in this tuning, though you can also tune down to GDGB. I have a cassette of a workshop from the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes of a bunch of Calico tunes played by fiddler, Peter Boveng.
