The Strolling Fiddler & Storyteller
Legends and lore of the fiddle
the fiddler
and the tunes...
Ever wonder where the fiddle came from? Ever hear of a haunted fiddle? How about a magic fiddle? A cornstalk fiddle? Ever wondered about that breed of fiddlers who compete for big prizes, or at least for the distinction of being top fiddler on their side of the mountain?
As well as being a fiddler myself, I've also wondered about these things and have collected many stories about the fiddle and the fiddler. I'm about to go strolling. Come on with me and I'll play you a song and
tell you a story...

...and even teach you to play a simple fiddle tune.

Ever wonder why they call it a "fiddle?" Ever wonder why they call it a "violin?" (Have I insulted my violin? I just called it a fiddle.) Ever wonder why they call it "the devil's instrument?"
So have I. Mosy on over to"The Big Question" for some answers.

CD's of fiddle and piano, and fiddle and drum music are available at my official website at Fiddlerwoman.com

Violin? Fiddle? What
Stories and Legends Some of the stories I found. Some I made up. This site also contains some references for stories that can be found in books at your local library.
