When I was growing up one of my biggest influences was Pete McMahan of Harrisburg, MO. Pete was without question the top fiddler of his generation. He could play more types of tunes, had more technical command of instrument, won more contests and arguably had more DRIVE than anyone else back in those days. I’ll show you some of the tunes and techniques I picked up from Pete and let you in on some great field recordings of Pete that I’ve had squirreled away.
My experiences playing fiddle - tunes, ideas, projects, reviews, commentary, memories, nostalgia,etc.
