Over the next few months I'm going to start collecting, compiling, writing and editing info with the hopes of creating a Victoria Fiddle Society Memoirs and Tune Book. I know that many of you will have some great material and other input that I would find invaluable, so if you don't mind perusing the following list of things and then emailing me at vfsbook@bckitchenparty.com with anything that you think may be of interest, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

A) Stories

B) Pictures (from jams, events, Cape Breton exchange etc.)

C) Your ideas

D) Your 5 Favourite tunes (just the names, not the music)

E) Discography of 'LOCAL' fiddle talent on CD (or Cassette, LP etc)

 

So, from this list you can see that this book may very well end up being a book about 'Fiddling in Victoria' and not just about the VFS. It will be an adventure to put it all together and the info you send will no doubt effect the shape of it. The book will undoubtedly help to define a 'unique Victoria fiddle repertoire' and proceeds from local sales will go directly to the VFS to continue our support for fiddling in our community.

 

Thanks,

Your President, 

Daniel Lapp
