Fiddlejam CD

Donna’s new online & mail order store - mp3 downloads and mail order powered by Nimbit.com

This companion CD to Fiddling Demystified for Strings lets you jam along with Donna Hébert and friends on the tunes from Vol. I. Arranged in medleys for listening and jamming, most tracks are recorded in stereo. This intimate CD makes you feel you are in the living room with the musicians as they play! Musicians include Jane Rothfield, George Wilson, Max Cohen, Stuart Kenney, Chanterelle, John McGann, Sarah Blair, Gideon Freudmann and more. Tunes are from Irish, Scottish, French-Canadian, New England, Appalachian Old Time, Cajun and original sources.

This is sold together with the Fiddling Demystified for Strings book (violin, viola and cello editions). The book’s two other CDs teach the lessons; this is the companion jam CD.
