I got my Uncle Dan's new CD "High-Top Sneakers" in the mail today. I'm tapping my toes to it as I type. So far (I'm only a few songs in), my favorite track is "Brand New Fiddle." I'm a sucker for fiddle songs. In his liner notes, Dan writes about this song: "One year a regular contestant at the Brownville Old-Time Fiddlers Convention showed up with a new, younger wife. I overheard a rival fiddler say, 'Looks like he got a brand new fiddle for his bow!' I knew there had to be a song there."
Here is a video of Dan and band playing the song at the CD release party. Enjoy! (And beware of bouncing in your seat!)
