		<title>Lessons from &#8220;She Thinks My Tractor&#8217;s Sexy&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a couple of good points to pick up from &#8220;She Thinks My Tractor&#8217;s Sexy&#8221; by Kenny Chesney, as played by Michael Sanchez. His web site is Violin Tutor Pro. Joe Venuti used to say he used his first finger as a capo. This made it possible to move anywhere on the neck of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contra Dance Roots and Fiddle Tunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The roots of contra dance in fiddle tunes may seem obvious to contra dance fans. But traditional contra dance fiddler, Dudley Laufman has something to say about this. He is a winner of the nation&#8217;s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts, the NEA National Heritage Fellowship. According to an article by Dave Howell [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jackie Tar Hornpipe in Fiddle Tab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pardon me if you have heard this from me before: I like hornpipes to have a swing rhythm. Many fiddlers play some hornpipes with a swing feel, and others they play like a reel or hoedown. Consider Sailor&#8217;s Hornpipe. I hear no one playing it as a swing rhythm hornpipe. Same with Fisher&#8217;s Hornpipe. Most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swallowtail Jig Revised</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I was with a student who was struggling with the B part of Swallowtail Jig. If you have my book, 43 Fiddle Tunes in Tab, you can see how it&#8217;s tricky at that spot. For her, I changed two things to simplify the part. I changed the D# to a D natural. Most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dancing Tables by Liz Carroll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dancing Tables, a jig by Liz Carroll, first showed up in a collection of Irish fiddle tunes. It was in Mel Bay&#8217;s Irish Session Tune Book. I&#8217;ve used that often to see standard versions of popular tunes. The book includes favored variations, too. It has proven itself to be a good starting place for tunes. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Fiddler&#8217;s Quick Fix in the Morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One morning not long ago I woke up with a head ache. Maybe it was from staring at those little dots of music at orchestra rehearsal. Or peering at the little screen on my lap top. I took some ibuprofen, (my drug of choice), and made coffee. As I waited for the coffee to brew [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 8th of January Redone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my second fiddle tab publication of 8th of January. This version is a little easier than the previous. If nothing else it gives you more options for playing the tune. It&#8217;s known better as the tune for “The Battle of New Orleans” by those old enough to have heard it. It’s a great [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out on the Ocean</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out on the Ocean is an Irish jig I noticed when I got the Patrick Mangan album, Farewell to Ireland.  I liked the sound of it. I found it in one of my books and had it on the music stand for a while. But, I didn&#8217;t really make it mine. There was one part [...]]]></description>

		<title>O Holy Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is more of a devotional song at Christmas than a Christmas Carol. Usually it&#8217;s sung by a singer with real chops. I got a request for this one by email. I hope I can find the message in my piles of messages so I can reply. This tune is not in my new ebook, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jingle Bells</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Jingle Bells is in the key of G. That&#8217;s a better key for singing than A. On the other hand, A would allow easy use of the open E string for drones. Then again, maybe F would be the best key for singing. I like F for fiddle tunes, but beginners are not familiar [...]]]></description>
