I did some recording this weekend and had some fun. One of the tunes is one that I've been scraping away on the fiddle for the past few months. Northland is from disc 4 of volume one of Billy Mathews 500 fiddle tunes project. The first 300 tunes are available for sale on his web site www.banjobilly.net. I have been picking up a good number of tunes lately from this collection, and this one is an original tune of his. He has given me permission to post this version. I am on the WL-250, and in aDADE.

I'd never heard of Billy Mathews till now. I'm resolved to study over his web site- sounds like an interesting personality. Thanks for playing such a nice melody on the banjo.
