May COTFA Newsletter features Vi Wickam
by Wedding Musician in Northern Colorado, String Music, Traditional Music
The May edition of the Colorado Old Time Fiddlers’ Association Newsletter features another arrangement by Fort Collins Strings Member, Vi Wickam.
The May newsletter features a Twin Fiddle arrangement of “Who’s Gonna Talk to Dinah” as arranged by Vi Wickam. Vi learned this piece by listening to Junior Marriott and Alita Stoneking play the tune in the Twin Fiddle division at the American Heritage Music Festival in Grand Lake, OK. This isn’t a transcription of what they played, but is an arrangement that Vi worked up when he got back home after the contest.
