Western Days

First of all, I want to say Thank you to everyone that came to watch us play! It was so wonderful to see your faces out there! Hope you all had fun! For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, Lewisville, TX puts on this yearly festival called Western Days where they block off all the streets in downtown Lewisville and have gun shows, bands, lassoing competitions and more. Its a very Texas kind of fun :D This year they even had country singer Pat Green come to our town and perform!
Our family band, The Fiddle Rascals played what we do best, old time fiddlin.

We just started doing 3 part harmony with my mom, Tori and me! I think it sounds pretty cool! Tori always rocks her solos though!

We usually have about 3 fiddlers, but only my Uncle Jimmy could make it this year! It was hard enough for him and then boom, one of his strings broke 10 minutes in to our show. SO we covered him with some singing while my step dad ran home to grab a spare violin! He made it back just in time lol

This was the last time for a while my brother Jimmy will play the bass since he moved to New Mexico. Sean has picked up the bass really quick though! He is a natural! We will miss our Jimmy though. We will be playing for Pirate Days in The Colony on the 15th which is fun because my grandma changed all the words of our songs to "Pirate talk" lol And we play the Pirates of the Carribean theme which is cool. That same night we will be playing at out church social's fall festival which should be fun. Plus I love chili cook offs!

  3. I agree with Gwyenne! New Mexico seems so random! I hope the Fiddle Rascals have something planned for Christmas break - I haven't heard you in literally years.

  4. Ya! Jimmy pretty much impulsed moved after 2 months here. So he is living with Jarron and working at a casino as a waiter for rich men watching horse races lol. He plans to start up school next yearish.He needed to move away so he can remember what he likes about Texas... we all do it lol. Alice, with grandma at the head I'm sure we will be doing something at christmas. We usually play at The Colony Library every year while santa does his visit.:D Hopefully we will do something in Old Town Lewisville! They always have a really cool Christmas festival that I remember we used to play at.
