TUNE: (Jig) Fiddling in the Pioneer Valley

My sister Becky was commissioned to write this jig by Chris Keenan to celebrate her fiddle group, the Pioneer Valley Fiddlers based in Western Massachusetts. While on the phone with Chris discussing the tune, Becky started humming an idea, so she grabbed a piece of paper and pencil and wrote down this jig before the conversation was over! (Wait. What. Wow.)

Enjoy this triple fiddle medley of Fairy Toddler Jig, Donegal Jig and Fiddling in the Pioneer Valley (2:12) that we recorded with our fiddling family friend Don Woodcock on our album, The Fiddlers Three.

Have fun playing this jig. And even better if you can play it with a few friends!
