Very nice! Always hear the guitar version of this tune. Good to hear it in it's original form!

Sheeeesh.....Were you levitating right around the 3rd time thru?? Just my luck to sit this year out!!!!

Can’t wait to attend this zoom course!

Heh! Great little clip. I was at a jam playing banjo back in the days when I was thinking about trying to play fiddle, and I asked the fiddle player next to me how the heck she managed to play that thing with no frets. She said "Well, you have to listen to what you're doing." 😳

Hmm...I wonder if I could work out 'Shave and a Haircut' in double stops?? I really need to come to one of your Fiddlestar fiddle workshops [Subscribed].

Salty !!!!!

Great fiddling but these drive me nuts. Everyone else sits around bored while one fiddler plays.

This is great!! Thank you!

Western Open next week.

That was an awesome Jam , I was there sitting across the hall playing along :-) I was hoping you would come back the next night and play some more :-)

First view and first comment!

Can't tell you how much I appreciate you playing this beautiful waltz. It's always a hit at our monthly Grass Valley Mountain Fiddler's jam . Duane Campbell recently joined our jam and speaks very highly of you as his fiddle teacher.In Fact, I have a few extra copies of my filmed CD of you and Bill Evans performing a concert in our home on 8-15-09. Great seeing you on You Tube as I remain one of your loyal fans. Take care and stay well. Your Fiddle Friends, Ralph and Helen

Beautiful!

Amazing playing ❤

This is so good! I love this song so much. I’ve been learning on accordion with some friends of mine. So much fun. He wrote so many wonderful fiddle tunes. You folks sound amazing!

So like yodeling. You cannot yodel quietly. 😂

I saw you at IBMA . You were killing it down in the lobby of the Marriott. I was hoping you would come back down and do it again.

Thank you for the great sounding lick!

Hi Megan

Very nice… you know where i can find the lyrics for this Song…thank you 😘

the earrings swaying do it all for me and complete this masterpiece GREAT WORK

playing those strings tugs on my heart there Megan just FYI and your very nice to look at WOW

will you marry me?

Yea! The whole video uploaded here. It sounds fun.

Love this tune, and you, as always, play it so well. Jimmy told me this tune grew out of How Much Is that LIttle Doggie in Window.

Megan The possibilities are endless. You're gonna be more famous than you already are!

This lady plays exceptionally good fiddle 😊

Always loved this song. Reminds me so much of my father playing his fiddle ❤

Love it! Parallel 5ths are my favorites in gritty bluegrass fiddle sounds!

As a guitarist, this confused me for a long time. If you play F# and B, that is a major 7th chord. Very pretty chord. Think: Mr. Sandman or Colour My World. BUT, on a fiddle, it's gritty and very bluegrass. I have to play guitar and bluegrass fiddle in different mind sets.

9/12/24 I'm at it again with a new fiddle and bow. Sheesh, I'd pay a lot for music notation transcription of this version! I love all the shifting. I wonder if your G is tuned up to an A. I'll watch it more closely. 10/13/24 Figured it out. It works really well in AEae tuning. I'll bring it out at the next Open Mic Night.

Just found this video Megan. Great playing. I've been playing this tune on and off for years. It's tricky. French Canadian I believe. Willy Ringuette/Jean Carignan. 😉

This is the international

Hi Megan, this is Claude Sevigny. Do you have any recommendations for selling an Italian fiddle by Maggiali circa 1932?

Everyone played this when I was a kid. Love it

I just started learning clawhammer after spontaneously buying a banjo as one does, I love it so muchhhhh I've gotta make it to something like this. sneeeeee

👏👏👏👏 🪕 🎻

Looks like I missed a great one!

I'm well into middle age and recently decided to try my hand at violin/fiddle, as I play several other instruments and figured I'd see if I can tackle my favorite yet hardest of all. I've purchased all of the fiddle books I could find with your name on them, though that was before I realized you also have a RUclips channel. I appreciate your dedication to and love for teaching. Thank you. :)

Great ideas

These are great suggestions l Love it

Worth noting that the Turkey in the Straw melody is closely linked to older British Isle fiddle tunes that predate the blackface minstrel song - so you can think of it more as appropriation rather than purely racist origins. Not trying to to downplay the core issue though - blackface/minstrel shows were a huge part of 19th Century American popular culture and perpetuated racist stereotypes that are still present today. There are plenty of straight up racist social relics that have gone unchallenged for too long.

Great tribute and wonderful lesson!

Sure would like to find music notation for this tune. A great tune.

Wonderful job, Megan 🩵

One time of meeting and fiddling with him changed my perspective and gave me more confidence to play MY way. I can only imagine the influence he'd have getting to sit with him multiple times. He was super nice too. What a great way for you to pay tribute to him.

Thank you! I am trying to learn this by ear with Strum Machine as my accompanist and This is perfect!
