Old School Old Time by Fiddle Whamdiddle Fiddle Whamdiddle : Old School Old Time.
 Foot-stomping, heart-pumping, head-bobbing music that snags audiences and reels them in!.

The debut recording of Fiddle Whamdiddle sizzles and celebrates Old Time music on fiddle and dulcimers.

Old School Old Time is a collection of 15 tracks of old-time music, including a couple of originals from each fellow, learned and shared by many generations of players and now picked up and taught to each other, coming out in some refreshing arrangements that highlight the beauty of the instruments and the liveliness of the tradition. Are you saying, "I know what a fiddle is but what is a whamdiddle?" The whamdiddle is a slang name for the hammered dulcimer; "hog fiddle" is a slang name for the mountain dulcimer, both are traditional American folks instruments. Together with the fiddle they make for a porch-picking, knee-slapping good time.

Recorded by Aaron Youngberg at Swingfingers Studio in Masonville, CO, Mastered at Airshow Mastering by Charlie Pilzer. With thanks to Brent Hawley for Guitar and Mandolin.

Reviews:
"Tight, spirited, and varied arrangements by two excellent folk musicians. Present throughout is an obvious love of both the material and the craft of presenting it." -Don Pedi, Old-Time mountain dulcimer player, N Carolina, DJ of "Close to Home"

"This album is a breath of fresh air for the old-time music community. Smart song selections, fresh accessible arrangements...great performances make for a very enjoyable listening experience.
