about
Bill Monroe (Bill Monroe Music, BMI)
I can’t seem to resist taking a bluegrass fiddle tune and messing around with it. Learned from the fiddling of Kenny Baker, this is now a sort of Frankenstein. There’s been an idea in my head for a while that if you learned a melody backwards, recorded it, flipped it around and played it back, the tune would sound normal again. For the most part it worked out, however the tone of my backwards fiddle is more bizarre than I imagined – and everyone loves a backwards solo! There are two pairs of fiddles here: backwards melody & backwards rhythm / forwards melody & forwards rhythm. I tried out all the various combinations. If I could, I’d change the title to something a little more appropriate like Ashland Breakup.
