I’m Super Psyched because I’ve just memorized<br />

a new classical concerto for violin. I recently performed it a few<br />

times impromptu. It’s ready for the concert stage and I’m wondering<br />

who the best accompanist will be. I will likely perform the piece as<br />

a duet with piano and so the collaborative artist I choose is crucial.<br />

The piece is in the key of A minor which is great for the violin and I<br />

can really dig in, but there’s also a lot of artistic depth and therefore<br />

choices to make as far as shading, color and interpretation. I’ve<br />

been thinking of programming it with some other material in a<br />

modern version of a Victor Borge act. <strong>May</strong>be I’m just fantasizing<br />

but I think it could go over well. It’s always good to add material to<br />

your recital repertoire.<br />

Meanwhile I’m preparing for some shows in a bunch of honky<br />

tonks and dance halls. I’m a bandleader and singer for a couple<br />

of bands. The Coyotes and Towndogs blast off large with some<br />

super-funky psychedelic swing. We rock it hard to the max with<br />

trombone, electric guitars and a full band. The mix is about half<br />

originals and we’ve been playing long enough that everyone knows<br />

and sings along with our songs. It’s nice that we play enough pop<br />

covers to keep everyone dancing and coming back for more. Next<br />

year makes 20 years together!<br />

The Potlikkers play a more traditional style with stand-up bass and<br />

I play fiddle. We do “old timey” jug band music with a dance beat.<br />

People love hearing the old songs and we get a real kick out of<br />

it too. I perform in character as Plum Tucker and we usually<br />

dress the part in overalls or as Country Gentleman. You’ve<br />

never heard Old Joe Clark played with such enthusiasm.<br />

I’ve been touring a good bit in the Appalachian<br />

Mountains so I’ll be adding a lot of new repertoire<br />

from influences I pick up along the way.<br />

8<br />

Lately lots of friends and acquaintances<br />

are building various musical instruments.<br />

Everything from fine classical guitars to<br />

steel drums and real nice electric guitars<br />

I’ve made a slew of drums and a couple<br />

batches of dulcimers but have been<br />

looking for a new project. <strong>May</strong>be a nice<br />

line of cigar box fiddles? I’ve got some<br />

new ideas and I am so<br />

Super Psyched!
