Video
We have videos posted from both the 2011 Salt Lake Chapter Fiddlin & Pickin contest and the 2011 Utah State Fiddle Contest.  You can access them on the video tab above. 

One of our founders, Jim Shupe, had recorded an album entitled "The Beehive Songster".  Some of our members were able to preserve samples of this music for us and two of his tunes are available here. 

Waltz of Shannon
Grandpa's Quadrille

Here's a real treat - Some real old-time tunes recorded by Dale Pendleton of the Pioneer chapter.  Dale also has an article on the various types of tunes and dances in the January 2011 Newsletter.
