Jig (2017)
In 2015, I won the Eastern North American Irish Fiddle Competition and qualified to compete at the All-Ireland Fiddle Competition in Sligo, Ireland. I ran a crowd-funding campaign online to help make the trip possible, and one of the perks of donating was receiving a tune composed by yours truly. This is one of the eight tunes I was commissioned to write.
Bob Stone was a fiddler from Stittsville, ON, who was always very supportive of my fiddling and my compositions. I would often play tunes with Bob at the weekly jam sessions held at Naismith’s Pub in Almonte, ON. Sadly, he passed away in November 2021, at the age of 85.
