Welcome!


This blog is for the sharing of non-copyrighted or out-of-print Texas style fiddle music. If you believe something posted here should not be shared, please contact me. Feel free to share this site on social media via Facebook, YouTube, etc.

If you download something, please share something back, too. Also, if you have information about any of these recordings, please pass it along. The goal of this site is to preserve the music with as much supplemental information as we can get!

Most of the music is shared in a .zip file format. You must decompress the .zip file before you can access and play the individual .mp3 songs. It's pretty easy with both Windows and Mac.

DISCLAIMER:
Much of this music was recorded from old worn cassettes that have been sitting in a box deteriorating for years. So...sometimes it sounds like music recorded from old worn cassettes that have been deteriorating for years. It's not studio quality, but it is good enough that you will still love the music.

Eck Robertson - Radio Theme Song

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here is an Eck Robertson song that has never been released digitally. This is the last track from the 1976 Sonyatone release, "Eck Robertson: Master Fiddler." Taken from a field recording in 1965, this track didn't make it onto to the 1920's Victor-era CD compilation that you can buy directly from County Sales. Be warned, this song gets stuck in your head!

Lyrics:
Well friends, we're on the air
Please listen everywhere
As I would like to please you
Don't think that I don't care

I've played my way to fame
Eck Robertson is my name
And if you like my program
Well, I'll come back again

Call if you will, and tell us who you are
And I will try to see you, no matter if it's near or far
Or drop me just a line, or see thee on your way
And I will always love you, until my dying day
