Blazing Bows :: Fiddlin' around again

The kids had a fun little gig tonight at the Broken Spoke. They've been workin' their little fingers and rosined bows off to learn some new fiddle tunes.

As luck would have it, Grammy & Grampy were here with one of the "dousins" (one of the twelve cousins), Joey, to see their first live performance of the Blazing Bows.

Kids with Mary Hattersley, the group leader
TRIVIA: Mary's band, Greezy Wheels, was the first Austin band ever signed to a major record label. That was back in the 70s.
Here they are in action with The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Well, I can only see the tops of their heads in this video...but they're back there playing away.



After they "played it hot" on stage, they got hot and sweaty sliding around on the dance floor having fun with their fiddle friends
.
One fun evening...ending with a round of ice cream cones.

At the Broken Spoke

The kids had a lot of fun last night at their final gig wrapping up summer fiddle camp.

Taking it all in after tuning.


Warming up.


At least we remembered all of the kids' violins. There was one fiddler who brought her case...but it was empty.

The Blazing Bows


The teenagers were featured in the Seven Wicked Reels, so you can't see our kids in this clip...but they're in back playing.

Reel 4



The show finished up with a few dance tunes including "Cotton Eye Joe."





Jimmer said the best part was sliding on the dance floor with friends when they were finished! (Their performance was 1-1/2 hours, so they needed to get a little energy out of their systems when it was over!)



A fun night!
