2024 Tidewater Veterans Day Parade

Birmingham Veterans Day Parade 2024

With Veteran’s Day coming up as a holiday here in the US, this week’s Fiddle Tune of the Week is the very embodiment of a classic: Soldier’s Joy. If you’re looking for absolute Must Know Tunes in American fiddling repertoire, you have to know Soldier’s Joy. This tune is such a staple of American fiddling that it’s practically ubiquitous, played across regions and generations, with a history in this country dating back at least to the 1700s. It has even deeper roots in Scottish fiddling tradition
