An Oregon Firefighting Fiddler
Andy Emert
Supposedly Albert Einstein was quoted as saying that the brilliance of genius is to never reveal your sources. In the fiddle world, it seems to be a nod of respect to quote your influences. This week on Fiddle Me This our guest, Andy Emert, shares his experiences fighting fires in eastern Oregon, meeting the Blue Mountain Old Time Fiddlers and drops some familiar fiddlers as early influencers. Andy grew up fiddling in Salem, OR, and tips his hat to his many local influences. Andy also shares an original tune of his. Having no website of his own, Andy would like to encourage people to check out the local Oregon Old Time Fiddlers.
The tunes:
Shortnin Bread
Whoa Mule
Red Wing
Ragtime Annie
Little Joe
East Portland Hornpipe
