That's about 2.5 hours south of the DFW area off hwy 35.
Gig pays $100.00. Must be ready to play by 6:00 in Killien Texas for a sound check. The gig is from 9:00 PM until about 12:30 or 1:00.
Must have any and all equipment needed to play this gig.
More information like directions and addition info will be given after a fiddler is chosen.

HEY!!!!
This fiddler does not need to be a Nashville or Branson quality player just a good solid fiddler.
A non squeeker please.

Song List includes
Crazy Arms
Big City - must be able to kick it off close to the Ole Hag version.
Green Snakes
Cheatin Heart
Faded Love
San Antonio Rose
Swingin Drawers a- doors!
More Hag, More Jones, More Gene Waton, More Gary Stewart, More Ray Price So on and so on.
Please call email me through the forum if you or a friend you know is interested.It could work into something more.

Oh yea, Age and Gender is in no way an issue here. After all I am have my 39th birthday party again this December for the 14th time.. HA! HA!

Arrangements can be made to ride down from the DFW area with me if needed. Please note I will be going with my wife and staying overnight so if you ride with me then you will be sleeping over in your own room.

Thanks very much.

Thanks for that Randy.

I can't play fiddle darn it.

Shut some would say I can't play anything at all HA!

Just a little steel, mandolin, dobro, bass, drums, lead, TV, radio, tape player, Windows computer.

That about cover it.

I sure wish I could play fiddle. My dad was a hillbilly from Mountain Home Arkansas and man, he could saw the strings off one..Well dad could make music on darn near anything

The lead man for Kaufman County Line is a fantastic fiddle player but he just HATES TO PLAY IT !

I have no idea why either.

Better at fiddle than guitar I heard.........

Oh well.

Thanks again

Mountain Home?!? I'm from West Plains. You guys always killed us in football.

Jimmy Clark recently re-located to Austin. He's a monster fiddle/psg/mandolin/trumpet.....everything, plus vocals. But unfortunately lately he's been hanging out with Herb Steiner.........

Hey Scott how are you?
Hey you know...I have only been to Mountain Home a few times over the years. I was born in Wichita Kansas but both of my sisters were born there.
My Dad moved to Wichita in 1954 to support the family.
Both of my sisters were born before he left for WWII. 1942 and 1943
Dad was a CB. Drove a bulldozier and killed Japs with his 45 he said. Kinda sounds like the John Wayne movie doesn't it?
My Dad was a real Mans Man!
Tough, honest, hard working and never, never, ever complained about anything oh.. except his hyper active spoiled brat of a son. ME!
Dad passed in 1972. I was 16. sure miss him!
Anyway...I sure love the mountains there in Arkansas.
Just not the ticks and chiggers! HA! HA!
Thanks for the reply. Looks like we will be fiddleless for this gig.. Is that a word?
