Call to Order 2. Approve Minutes Board approved minutes. 3. Financial Report Board approved Financial Reports 4. ASBF review discussion. Attendance up, but made less money at String Band Festival. CD – Perhaps someone handed out the wrong wristbands? Hard to keep track, some volunteers pay, others don’t. Would. An unexpected expense: $200 for manager’s fee in Camp Ben contract this year Contract was handed to us AT the festival. No time to dispute or discuss. Would like to get a small group of board members together to brainstorm on festival improvements for next year. ACTION JD – Having extra dances successful. KT – Needed more volunteers in kitchen. AW – Not enough volunteers at stage, CF – Workshop volunteers: 3 volunteers needed. Two volunteers signed up, one was ill at last minute. Managed with help of several people that were recruited. Purly Gates’ workshop miscommunication was unfortunate – Confirmation not received early enough to advertise in newsletter, facebook, website, etc. (not in program, no one knew anything about at information/merchandise booth)–. ACTION: Write down all comments on ASBF and send to Tim Wooten 5. Midwinter Festival discussion – a. Working with Mary Brogan to reduce costs by reducing number of hours. DAC will be available for us at 10 am (1 hour later than previous years) providing a cost reduction of $162 on contract. Will look into further cost reduction if we end an hour earlier. Vacate premises by 11 pm. TW -Will resubmit contract. ACTION b. Volunteers –ACTION ITEM for KT -Time to recruit volunteers. c. Band bookings AW – Silas Lowe said he’d put together a band David Hamburger, Mark Gilston (suggested he add some folks to his performance, various ones that he’s played with).

The first band goes on at 1 pm, the last one at 8 pm. Discussion CF – Silent Auction, who is in charge? AW – List silent auction as a volunteer position. (note: Erica Braverman has volunteered to be Silent Auction manager as discussed with CF on 12/3/13) CF – Will coordinate workshops. AW – Suggests having one of the workshop rooms set up for a “multi-purpose” space – miniperformances, jamming, etc. for people milling around that don’t like to sit down. JD – Need to have separate admission gate handlers (volunteers, members/non-members, etc.) JD – Motion to have different performance slots for main stage, as per disgression of talent coordinator (AW).

Story telling of Tommy Jarrell, concert and dancing. Cost: $4000 plus travel for 4 people. EP willing to put up $2000 (estimated travel expense). Time involved: 1 - 1.5 hours. JD – Need to negotiate down. Important to bring groups from outside of Austin. DF – Musicians with connection to tradition will draw those come to play music and less likely to come for entertainment. TW – Unless we can get a significant reduction, no. Another possibility is for AFTM to be a liaison with a production company that has theatre space, to hold performance outside of the festival. 8. Pending business: LEFT PENDING a.

Austin Friends of Traditional Music (AFTM) has its origins in the autumn of 1974 when a group of musicians gathered in an Austin living room with a special purpose in mind: to produce a traditional music convention with competition for pickers and singers. By November of that year, the first convention was held. It was financed on a shoestring budget and the only publicity was free publicity. And its producers wondered if there would be enough interest for the convention to last until noon. But by midnight, their fears had dissolved. Living room pickers from all over the area attended, competed, and got to know each other and AFTM was on its way. AFTM is a 501(c)3 organization, founded in 1974 and dedicated to the promotion of traditional music. We present 2 yearly music festivals highlighting the central Texas music community and featuring local, national, and international folk musicians. Our Mid-Winter Festival is held in early February and features local and nationally known traditional bands. The Austin String Band Festival held in the Fall, combines old-time, bluegrass, conjunto, cajun and other ethnic performances. One of our main goals is to pass along traditional music to the next generation of enthusiastic musicians. We also host house concerts, jam sessions, and dances. AFTM serves as an educational and informative resource through its newsletter, web page, and local musician's registry. Midwinter Traditional Music Festival Saturday, February 8, 2014 What is the Midwinter Festival? The Midwinter Festival is Austin Friends of Traditional Music’s main fund raiser.

Austin Friends of Traditional Music Young Musician's Grant for the 2014 Swannanoa Old Time Gathering To do this, you got to know how... Whether it's Round Peak banjo, flat pick guitar, Piedmont fiddle, ukulele, shape note singing or Old-time mandolin, the best way to learn traditional music is from someone who knows how. The music has come down to us in an unbroken chain from one generation to the next, by hand and in person. That is still the best way to learn. The Austin Friends of Traditional Music is dedicated to helping keep the chain unbroken and preserving musical traditions as they evolve among those who still do know how! In cooperation with Warren Wilson Warren College of North Carolina, the AFTM is proud to announce its Young Musician's Grant program for 2014. Anyone in the Austin area under the age of 26 may apply. Two musicians will be selected from the entries to attend master classes at the annual Swannanoa Gathering in Asheville, North Carolina. Swannanoa offers a rich variety of hands-on classes with masters of various acoustic instruments, playing styles, singing, story-telling, and traditional dance. The grant will cover the cost of tuition ($500) and board ($395) for classes offered during OLD TIME WEEK. July 20-26, 2014 (here’s a description from last year): Old-Time Music & Dance Week at the Swannanoa Gathering explores the rich music, dance, and singing traditions of the southern Appalachian region through a wide variety of classes taught by an experienced and supportive staff. The many diverse offerings enable students to explore new areas; fiddlers sing, singers dance, and dancers learn to play instruments. New this year, the Teen Gathering is a class specifically for teenagers. Students enroll in as many as three regular classes during the week, and each afternoon a variety of short workshop topics are offered during the Potluck Sessions. The daily Communal Gathering features master musicians, singers, and dancers from across the Appalachian region. Evening activities include jam sessions, singing, square dances, clogging, concerts, and the popular Late-Night Honky-Tonk Dance! For those students bringing their families, we also offer a program for kids, but space is limited. Our Children's Program for ages 6-12 features kids' activities scheduled during all the daytime class sessions, and evening childcare for ages 3-12 is provided at no additional cost. Although the 2014 course catalog won't be available until open registration in March, and classes fill quickly, scholarship students will be given the old time classes of their choice. 3 �NOTE: Students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone to attend camp.

Austin String Band Festival: October 20–22, 2017 – Save the Date The Austin Friends of Traditional Music present their annual Austin String Band Festival on October 20-22, 2017, at beautiful Camp Ben McCulloch in Driftwood, Texas. This annual camping festival features the very best of local and national performers of old-time, bluegrass, blues, vintage country, and ethnic American music. 2 �Whether you come for the day or camp out for the weekend, there will be music everywhere - on the stage, at the workshops, in the picnic areas, in the campgrounds, all day and well into the night. Delicious local and organic food will be available for sale at the festival. Great string band music, workshops, and lots of family fun provide something for everyone. Friday, October 20 starts off this full weekend with Dance ‘Til You Drop Night featuring great live music and several kinds of dancing. Come out and dance or just listen and watch. Saturday, October 21 will be a full day of great music and music related activities. Music workshops are offered in the morning and early afternoon (free with admission). Stage performances begin in the early afternoon and continue until 10pm; mini-sets are held in a nearby performance area during stage set changes to keep the music rolling continuously. Sunday October 22 is the Gospel Jam, an open morning gospel sing that wraps up a fun and music-filled weekend! We’ll occasionally ask AFTM members to share their current musical listening choices. This issue, we’ve asked Fiddlin’ Dan Foster for his current favorites, and here they are: The Goodbye Waltz - Front Porch Fiddling: Matt Wyatt and Justin Branum, Fiddlesong Records Sandy River - Gordon Freeman, Silver Circle Productions Solomon Family - Three Generations of Champion Texas Fiddlers 1929-1969 : Old Blue Records Art of the Texas Breakdown: Orville Burns, Hodgson Records 50 Old-time Fiddle Gems: Pete McMahan, Voyager Records 3 �MAMMIE’S BANJO by sharon isaac The Old Banjo Was in its’ place In the front room Behind Mammie’s threadbare couch Safe from where we little children would never ever Dare to touch the precious thing But the temptation was extraordinary We knew while Mammie cooked in the kitchen She couldn’t see us We laid on the hard, cold, bare floor beside the couch And beheld and admired And yearned to touch Arms and fingers stretching Imagining the feel, the sensation, the vibration But never ever, ever Did we children cross that forbidden line. Time happens and people pass Mammie took the bus to another world The Old Banjo moved to Uncle Basil’s house. I grew older and I found a banjo muse “Let me take that old banjo” “No” was all he ever said I often visited The Old Banjo and I let it ring and I let it sing Time happens and people pass Uncle Basil took the bus to another world Then a strange thing happened Aunt Hilda cut down all his treasured trees in the front yard And gave away his little black dog Then she put that Old Banjo on my knee The Old Banjo moved to my house and I let it ring and I let it sing. 4 �The Tuesday Night Rio Rita Old Time Jam Rio Rita, on Austin’s east side, calls itself a “Mild mannered coffee shop by day, swanky lounge by night.” True enough but, on Tuesday nights, a transformation of sorts occurs and Rio Rita becomes the home of a weekly Old Time music jam! Britt Irick has been attending for years and is the de facto leader of the jam, arriving early each Tuesday and staying late. Britt, whose day job is teaching art at a middle school in Kyle, has learned to play fiddle by attending this jam for the past five years. He’s particularly pleased with Rio Rita’s new location at 1203 Chicon Street, after spending many years on East Sixth Street. The Old Time Jam has been at the Chicon Street location since the start of this year and, weather permitting, takes place on the roomy outdoor patio. Though Britt arrives early every Tuesday, the official start time is 7:30 and the jam runs as late as needed, nearly ‘til midnight some evenings. Typically, eight to ten pickers participate sometimes more, sometimes less. The Rio Rita Old Time Jam is open to players at all levels, and the musicians make a point of making newcomers feel welcome!

The person responsible for these tasty offerings is Sara Weber, who has run the food service from the beginning and was instrumental in making the String Band Festival a reality back in 2005. Sara’s interest in traditional music is through contra dancing. Although she enjoyed the performance-based activities the AFTM had been presenting, she and others felt a festival event would encourage a more diverse and younger audience. As the inaugural String Band Festival was being planned in 2005, Sara’s culinary skills prompted her to volunteer to take on the food service responsibility. She’s been running the Café at the String Band Festival ever since! From the beginning, Sara wanted to provide a complete meal service so that people could attend the festival and eat all their meals at the Café. The menus show an emphasis on quality and fresh ingredients with some concessions to high quality “comfort food” as well. The menus accommodate as many dietary restrictions as possible. Like all the tasks involved in putting on the String Band Festival, Sara’s work is 100% a volunteer effort and she depends on a volunteer staff to help with food preparation, order taking, and all the tasks involved with running the food service. Sara feels that many festival attendees may not be aware that the food service is not a for-profit venture, but is strictly a volunteer effort and that all the proceeds go to the AFTM. Often, she needs more volunteers than are available, which creates an unnecessarily stressful situation. Hopefully, the 2017 Austin String Band Festival will see an increase in the number of volunteers. Sara welcomes volunteers with no food service experience. Many volunteers have commented that working at the Café is a great way to see old friends and meet new AFTM members. 6 �Dan Foster at his home in Austin The Hornpipe in Southern Fiddling Dan Foster Among hobbyists of the violin there is a certain bunch noted for its relatively harmless predilection to regard the obscurity of a fiddle tune as a serious mark of distinction in itself. The tendency toward this little personal excess is not without benefit in general. Indeed it has secured the rescue of more than a few charming and wonderful melodies from oblivion and helped to foster the survival of many a good tune that might otherwise have been lost. But among that cadre is a distinct faction exhibiting a more extreme form of this tendency: The hornpipe fiddler. To this odd sort not only the origin, but the melody and the very title of the tune itself must exhibit a certain affinity for the peculiar. Tunes with names like The Hiawatha Hornpipe, The Dominion Hornpipe or Good For the Tongue find a favored place in the hornpipe fancier’s tune-list, and each lives up to its name. Sometimes charming, often obtuse and ever pursuing novelty in all aspects, the hornpipe is at home among the inscrutable. As Pennsylvania fiddler, Jehile Kirkhuff is heard to have chuckled before launching off into The All American Hornpipe: “Here’s a baffler…” Now, reels and breakdowns predominate any regular gathering of fiddle players. A polka, the waltz, or even an occasional jig is admitted. But the appearance of a hornpipe on the scene, at 7 �least one in its full plumage, is apt to bring the groove of a good jam to a dead halt. Good breeding and a moderate sense of discretion generally serve to keep this from happening too often and the fiddler with a bad case of the hornpipes may be welcome or at least tolerated while the symptoms are under control. Forbearance is an essential if difficult virtue for the hornpipe fiddler, at least for the one who cares to maintain both reputation and friendships in the community at large. Fisher’s Hornpipe is usually a safe bet, Durang’s, Rickett’s or even Harvest Home, but the looks to be expected after finishing even a commendable execution of The Acrobat or The Bee’s Wing in Bb will almost certainly be quizzical at best So what is a hornpipe? The description typically offered (not infrequently with a trace of disdain) involves likening the sound of it to that of an oddly constructed form of musical calisthenics, notey with interminable arpeggios, a somewhat stilted meter, melodic accidentals, and a propensity for quaintness. A recommendation may also be offered that the form is best executed in solitude. Still, for that plucky segment of the fiddling community with an ear for such business, the form is magical fun. Most fiddling is centered around dance rhythms. Breakdowns, polkas, and waltzes are common across the South and account for the main part of the fiddler's repertoire. Among the many now largely extinct dance forms for which tunes once filled the floor there were the quadrille, lancers, the redova, cotillion, mazurka, galop, clog, walk-around, essence, strathspey, Schottische, and others. The hornpipe might have been counted among these, at least in the earliest days. There is considerable disagreement about the origin and nature of the hornpipe, at least among those who enjoy disagreeing about such things. Like the Schottische, which Alan Jabbour has described as "the Continent's idea about the way that the English thought the Scottish people danced like", the origin of hornpipe is fittingly conjectural. Most often associated in origin with northern England, the earliest references to the form come from 17th century compositions with various settings of the word “hornpipe” in the title. Some older varieties were in 3/2 time signature and were perhaps related to an earlier and unfortunately named English dance form, the “maggot”. There are 17th and 18th century references, even tune books from the period such as Thomas Marsden's Original Lancashire Hornpipes, Old and New, published by Henry Playford in 1705. The familiar Fisher's Hornpipe was first published in 1780 and attributed to one James A. Fishar, a dancer, musical director and ballet master at Covent Garden during the 1770's. It is included as Hornpipe #1 in Fishar’s Sixteen Cotillons Sixteen Minuets Twelve Allemands and Twelve Hornpipes, 1773. Another well-known title is the Sailor's Hornpipe, first printed as the College Hornpipe in 1797 or 1798 by J. Dale of London, but now days more often associated with vintage Pop-Eye the Sailor TV cartoons. There appears to be little truth to the commonly held idea that the dance was made popular by virtue of having been performed on board 17th century sailing vessels by the crews of same. Whatever its origin, the hornpipe has persisted as a common tune form in Great Britain and among American fiddlers both North and South since time out of mind. Highly regarded versions of Durang’s Hornpipe are still popular among old-time, Bluegrass and Texas Style fiddlers alike. It is the namesake of John Durang who lived 1768 to 1822, a native-born American widely known as a dancer. Said to have been George Washington's favorite performer, he was noted particularly for his nimble execution of the hornpipe. During the 19th century, the hornpipe was popular among fiddlers of all types, but particularly favored by the “gentleman fiddlers” of both genders capable of extracting challenging specimens from tunebooks like Elias Howe’s Ryan’s Mamouth Collection and later Cole’s 1000 Fiddle Tunes. The first recorded musical rendition of Durang’s Hornpipe is from Don Richardson made for 8 �Columbia Records, 1916. Jasper Bisbee recorded The College Hornpipe for Edison Records in 1923 Nowadays, the old-time music scene ungrudgingly concedes Rickett’s Hornpipe, The Cincinnati, and others like John Sharp’s or The Grand Hornpipe which are typically played more like break-downs anyway. One common aspect of almost all state-side renditions of the hornpipe is avoidance of the “dotted-rhythm” that is perhaps its most identifiable characteristic in Great Britain, Canada, sometimes the American northeast and at Irish sessions everywhere. In musical notation the sound of the breakdown style is represented predominately by measures of evenly played eighth-notes, while the old-school hornpipe rhythm is cast by measures of dotted eighth notes followed by sixteenth-notes. British style American style It may be possible that this was a conscious result of the need for cultural differentiation sometime after the effects of the War of 1812 (a conflict with deeper and more significant impact than is typically understood). You can hear the difference between the head-strong, hard-charging four-square American style and the more lilting nature of the older form by comparing the sound of two recordings of The Liverpool Hornpipe. The British“dotted-rhytm” version by the fiddler Tom Anderson from the distant Shetland Islands followed by the American style by Willaim B. Houtchens who was recorded fiddling the tune in 1924 in Indiana for Gennett Records. Examples (audio links): Liverpool Hornpipe – Tom Anderson (Shetland Islands – 1970s?) www.fostersplace.com/sounds/LiverpoolHornpipe-TomAnderson.mp3 Liverpool Hornpipe –Wm Houtchens (Indiana 1924) www.fostersplace.com/sounds/LiverpoolHornpipe-WBHoutchens.mp3 Although, Emmet Lundy’s version of Fisher’s Hornpipe features a degree of the older rhythmic style, the virtual absence of the dotted-rhythm across most available historic recordings from the U.S. is compelling evidence that this was a practice most likely adopted early in our history, though the evidence of audio examples essential to posing such a guess is lacking for any period before the early 1920s. This American style of rendering the hornpipe is echoed in many strong, traditionally sourced White fiddlers such as Emmet Lundy, Henry Reed, Luther Strong, Marcus Martin and John Salyer up to more “modern” artists from Clayton McMichen to Howdy Forrester. Considering the foundational influence of Black fiddlers on the American tradition, it should be noted that from the few early recordings in existence we might infer the same approach to the hornpipe rhythm, perhaps even the origin of that approach. In the 1940s Fisher’s Hornpipe was recorded from the playing of Black fiddler Frank Patterson and banjoist Nathan Frazier by John Work in Tennessee. That version is characteristically “un-dotted” in its rhythm. The same can be said 9 �for a version of Wagoner’s played by fiddler John Lusk and banjoist Murphy Gribble. Lusk, Gribble, and guitarist Albert York from Campaign Tennessee, were recorded by Robert "Stu" Jamieson for the Library of Congress in 1946. Jamieson noted that the three were "The most popular dance band for black and white dances in six counties". A relatively few number of hornpipes show up in most of the known repertoires for Southern fiddlers, over and over. But in the case of our hornpipe fiddler, his repertoire might include a goodly number of choice and well-developed representatives of the species under consideration. Ernie Hodges was a fiddler born in 1907 near Banner Elk, N.C. He learned to read music before he started attending school. His father, who was an old-time singer and music teacher, inspired in him an early love of music. By the time he was 12, Hodges, with the help of his grandfather, had built his first banjo out of a gourd with horse hair strings. He went on to become a much admired fiddler across the region. His actual tune-list may have included any number of hornpipes, but among the handful that happen to have survived in recorded form there are Deer Walk and Hanna’s Hornpipe. Hanna’s Hornpipe Ernie Hodges (Transcribed by Frank Maloy, The Devils Box – Vol. 2 No. 4 Dec 1, 1978. Used by permission.) This tune comes from the Davis Unlimited LP entitled North Carolina Fiddling" (DU 33031) 1976 Hodges entered fiddle contests and picked up classical tunes and traditional melodies while traveling throughout the Southeast with bands. At the peak of his playing, he was heard on 72 radio stations across the South. Other Appalachian fiddlers were also known for their hornpipes. Roscoe Parrish (1897-1984) of Galax, Virginia played tunes like The Oyster River Hornpipe, Colberth’s, and the Portsmouth Hornpipe. George Hawkins (1904-1991) from Bath County, Kentucky is known for the many hornpipes in his repertoire including Big Indian, Holmes Hornpipe, The High Level, Randall’s, The Rocky Mountain, The Thunder Hornpipe, Good For the Tongue and others. 10 �The fiddling tradition in the Midwest is particularly hornpipe heavy. There appear to have once been a great number and diversity of unique hornpipes common among fiddlers in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana. Known as the “Missouri Valley” fiddle style, the tradition is characterized by clean, notey playing of complex hornpipes and reels, many of which can be traced to Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes or Ryan's Mammoth Collection and other 19th century fiddle tune books. The legendary fiddler William Anderson “Bill” Driver (1881-1985) of Pleasant Hill Missouri is noted for his version of Marmaduke’s Hornpipe. Left handed fiddler Cyril Stinnett (1912 – 1986) from the northwest corner of Missouri played Hooker’s Hornpipe and the Dubuque Hornpipe, a tune which he performed more like a standard breakdown and as such may have entered the modern old-time repertoire where it is now known simply as Dubuque. The tune appears first in Elias Howe's collection as The Village Hornpipe. It was also played by Missouri Valley fiddlers Casey Jones, Art Galbraith, and Ron Hughey. Lonnie Robertson (1908-1981) from Springfield, Missouri is known for his renditions of The Champion and Adrian’s Hornpipe. The succeeding generation of Missouri fiddlers include those like Vesta Johnson who was born in 1922 in North-central Missouri and has been an important influence on young musicians in the region. Vesta, Charlie Walden and Chirps Smith among others are helping to ensure that the Missouri Valley tradition continues for yet a while. Another important Midwest fiddler known for his hornpipes was Bob Walters (1889-1960) of Nebraska who reportedly won practically every contest he entered in the region. His version of The Thunderbolt is to this day unequaled. Walters was recorded in the 1940s by fiddler and tune-collector R. P. Christeson and by Iowa fiddler Dwight Lamb throughout the 1950s. Among the many remarkable tunes associated with “Uncle Bob” Walters are The High Level Hornpipe, St. Joe, Woodchopper’s Hornpipe and The Constitution. Other notable hornpipe recordings from the R. P. Christeson collection are The Hunter’s Hornpipe from George Morris, Aunt Mary’s Hornpipe from Vee Latty, and Effie’s Hornpipe performed by Christeson himself. Another noted Midwest fiddler was Lotus Dickey (1911-1989) from Southern Indiana whose repertoire included The New Century Hornpipe, the truly charming Peck O’Mant Hornpipe and others. Among Bluegrass fiddlers, the old chestnuts are strongly favored with many innovative versions of Fisher’s, Sailor’s Hornpipe, Durang’s, and Rickett’s. Several notable new hornpipes have been written by Bluegrass musicians, including Byron Berline’s Huckleberry Hornpipe and Bill’s Monroe Hornpipe. Kenny Baker is known for Doc Harris’Hornpipe, Bobby Vann’s and the Ball and Chain Hornpipe. Most Bluegrass renditions are almost indistinguishable from breakdowns and played at a pretty good clip. While not favored much by 5-string banjo pickers of the classic era, more contemporary banjoists like Bob Black, Bill Keith and Alan Munde have all featured noteworthy hornpipes in their performances and recordings. Here in Texas, I remember listening to the late Bill Northcutt, a much loved old-time Texas fiddler from Houston, play The Cottage Hornpipe and The Lamplighter’s. Bill was widely known not only for his solid breakdown fiddling, but for the choice, out-of-the-ordinary tunes he played with such good-natured talent. His version of The Hiawatha Hornpipe, along with any number of other unnamed gems were a pure delight to hear. Many folks around the Austin area can still recall the inventive precision (and accompanying high-pitched chuckle) of the late Gordon Starrett as he ran through any number of often outlandish and unnamed hornpipes. Bill and Gordon were both among the inheritors of that venerable part of the fiddling tradition that favored the thrill of measured expertise if not outright acrobatics best practiced in the confines of the hornpipe. Favoring single-note playing, precision and clarity, they took delight in closed flat-keys, and the keys of C and F which are common for the form. Though less often heard 11 �these days in old-time circles, hornpipe playing was once the mark of an accomplished fiddler. Lowe Stokes is reputed to have said of Alabama Fiddler, Joe Lee – “He could just set and play pretty all day and all night. Play all them ol’ hornpipes, and he could really play ‘em too.” Texas Style fiddlers have a special place for hornpipes in their repertoire. While some of the more common tunes like Uncle Herman’s Hornpipe, Wagoner’s, or Randall’s Hornpipe are played in the contest setting, in the context of the informal jam many others like The Oriole, The Butterfly, Dew Drop or Dominion Hornpipe may be heard. Texans render the hornpipe not in the dotted rhythm but according to the steady Texas pace made so popular by fiddlers like Major Franklin, Red Steeley and Howard “Bus” Westmorland and their stalwart guitar players. Norman Solomon’s setting of General Lee’s Hornpipe is marked by a relentless freight-train rhythm that has all the drive of the breakdown but maintains the unique aspect of the hornpipe done up Texas Style. So, I hope I have piqued some interest in learning more about hornpipe fiddling. It is true that spending time learning this rather demanding form will not in itself guarantee your continued popularity at the local jam. But if you are the type that enjoys untangling musical puzzles and can derive sufficient joy from fiddling for its own sake, then you might be just the kind of artist cut out to encounter the hornpipe on its own terms on a regular basis. There are added benefits, though. Making the effort to learn these weird tunes does have a salubrious effect on fiddling technique in general. You may find that the skills you develop in hornpipe fiddling do serve in some measure to transfer better clarity, control and precision to anything you play. It may well be that a significant portion of what sets the modern Texas Style of fiddling apart is attributable to concentration on the bowing necessary to execute the hornpipe form. This is purely conjecture on my part, but taking into account the sheer number and extensive variety of hornpipes associated with the playing of Benny Thomasson and his singular effect on modern fiddle technique, it does not seem unreasonable to suspect that his time spent working through hornpipes like Forrester’s, Blanchard’s and Tooly’s had something to do with it all. The unique and fascinating musical requirements involved in learning how to play a good hornpipe are after all a satisfying and special kind of fun - and good for you, too!.
