Here's a
quick note to let you know what's been going on at the Fiddle Hangout. Be
sure to check out the Virtual Fiddle Festival--even if you don't sound
as good as the video to the left, we'd love to hear you!

Virtual Fiddle Festival
We're having our first-ever Virtual Fiddle Festival! The idea is, each
month a new tune will be picked. You work up your best version of it,
then post it on YouTube (or just post an MP3) and add it to the FHO
archives for others to watch/hear.
(I take no credit for this--it's a grassroots effort from FHO members.
See the discussion thread here.)
This month's song tune goes by a variety of names: Virginia Reel, Did You
Ever See the Devil, Uncle Joe/Miss Mcleod's Reel, or "Hop High
Ladies" as it's called on the Old Time Jam site, which is where the list of
festival tunes is being chosen from. Post your take by February 15th!

New Moderators
We just brought on three new site moderators: Mandogryl, SUSAN H, and FIDDLED.
These ladies will be a big help to poor wormbower who has been handling most of the
