Fiddle tunes illuminated

Following the BIB post of 9 May on Henry Reed (1884-1968) of West Virginia and his legacy for old-time fiddlers, we learn that Alan Jabbour has now published a 120-page spiral-bound book, Fiddle tunes illuminated, with full transcriptions, playing advice, stylistic comment, and much more on forty-five tunes learned from Henry Reed and other fiddlers; many of the tunes are now considered fundamental in old-time fiddle repertoire.

Full details here, including price and a package deal with recordings of the tunes. Thanks to FOAOTMAD for the news.
