The Fiddle Book is about Fiddles; Fiddlers and Fiddling. It is not about violins.Violins are played in string quartets and symphony orchestras. Violins play sonatas and concertos and tone poems. Violinists are people like Jascha Heifetz and Isaac Stern.Fiddles are played at square dances and hoedowns in the front parlor or the back yard. Fiddlers play jigs; reels; hornpipes and the like. Fiddlers are people like Uncle Charlie Higgins; Eck Robertson; Grandma Davis and Max Collins.This book is about fiddles. It is themost comprehensive document on the folk music fiddle and fiddling styles ever published; and includes the music to more than 150 fiddletunes faithfully transcribed from the playing of traditional musicians.

I got this book as a gift from a fellow colleague; and at first I thought to myself; "Hmmm; what an interesting topic." I was pleased as I moved from chapter to chapter witnessing the fluidity and well structured work of literature that he will be known for. Great read; this page turner will benefit the collection of any architectural historian seeking knowledge on Gothic Arches and/or Latin Crosses. Please write more BOOKS!!!! thaanks - Ken Smith
