[Notes]
Tracy Schwarz, of New Lost City Ramblers renown, recorded Fiddler's Companion to answer questions beginning fiddlers often have about learning old-time music. He plays 11 standard tunes, first demonstrating the basic melody and then adding various ornamentation. Along with a good ear, a strong sense of patience, and a steady bow, this album is a great complement to a fiddler's music studies.
