VOLUME 13, ISSUE 1 THE QUARTER NOTE PAGE 3 Quebe Sisters play OK Theatre March 14 Mark your calendars for March 14 when the OK Theatre presents the Quebe Sisters in concert. When the Quebe Sisters from Texas take a stage, and the triple-threat fiddle champions start playing and singing in multi-part close harmony, audiences are usually transfixed, then blown away. It’s partly because the trio’s vocal and instrumental performances are authentic all-Americana, all the time, respectful of the artists that inspired them the most. Not surprisingly, the Quebe Sisters win standing ovations at just about every show. It’s been that way since 2000, when they started fiddling together as pre-teens. Today, after more than a decade of travelling the U.S. and the world, and recording three acclaimed albums, Grace, Sophia and Hulda Quebe are pros in a variety of genres and have an unbridled passion for American music. The March 15 show will also feature an opening set by Northwest Public Radio legend Dan Maher (host of Inland Folk) Doors open at 6pm, Dan Maher at 6:30, Quebe Sisters at 8pm. Tickets are $20, available in local outlets and online. (Visit theoldok.com). Winter Blues Party at the LT School of Rock!

Traveler Series libraries focus on delivering a genuine purity that can only be captured where the instrument and musical style originated, preserving its true character and history. We seek out a region’s most skilled and renowned performers; amazing folks with stories and bloodlines who live and breathe traditional provincial music. We leave with an education and appreciation for their culture and the role these beautiful instruments serve (as well as a tale or two of our own). We hope our Traveler Series adds an authentic native spirit to your music. Bluegrass fiddling is a distinctive American style characterized by bold, bluesy improvisation, off-beat "chopping", and sophisticated use of double stops and old-time bowing patterns. Notes are often slid into, a technique seldom used in Celtic styles. Bluegrass fiddlers tend to ignore the rules that violinists follow: they hold the fiddle the “wrong” way and often don't use the chin & shoulder rests. We journeyed right to the heart of the Bluegrass State for our Bluegrass Fiddle – Clay City, Kentucky – to the private studio of one of the most renowned names in Bluegrass music, Rickey Wasson. Rickey hooked us up with a true Bluegrass fiddle legend, multi-instrumentalist Ronnie Stewart.

  • Ctba Newsletter 1412
    Central IBMA Member Vol. 36 No. 12 Texas Bluegrass December 1, 2014 CTBA Year-end Wrap-up by Stacy Holt, President Now that 2014 is winding down, I thought I would take this time to look back at our CTBA year in review. I am proud of our accomplishments and what our CTBA board and members did this year. First, we found a new home for the CTBA Sunday jam at Hill’s Cafe. What I hear from most folks is that it has been a great success. Lots of jamming space available and great drinks and food available have made for a good time. Hill’s has definitely made us feel at home and has done an excellent job with the two other events we held there this year. Our Willa Beach-Porter Scholarships were given to three very deserving kids. Brothers Ethan and John-Samuel May attended Camp Bluegrass as a part of their scholarships. Ryan Chatterjee was our other recipient. He attended Gerald Jones’ Acoustic Music Camp in Arlington. I have met these young men and their families and can safely say, this is by far the best way our membership dol- lars are spent. To see fine young people continue the love and spreading of bluegrass music brings a great joy. CTBA was at the forefront of the Llano Blue Bell Bluegrass Festival with great thanks to our own webmaster, Jeff White. Jeff was once again in charge of booking acts for the festival and chose a fantastic line-up from CTBA bands. I strongly encourage you to attend next year’s event.

  • Jim Shumate and the Development of Bluegrass Fiddling
    JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING A Thesis by NATALYA WEINSTEIN MILLER Submitted to the Graduate School Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2018 Center for Appalachian Studies JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING A Thesis by NATALYA WEINSTEIN MILLER May 2018 APPROVED BY: Sandra L. Ballard Chairperson, Thesis Committee Gary R. Boye Member, Thesis Committee David H. Wood Member, Thesis Committee William R. Schumann Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.

  • Geographic Implications of the Fiddling Tradition in Oklahoma
    GEOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE FIDDLING TRADITION IN OKLAHOMA By JAMES HUBERT RENNER 1/ Bachelor of Science University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon 1974 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May, 1979 ~ /979 7( '-/14q QQp. 2_ c ~W51vfA~ fo+~-- ~)', 0 UNIVERSITY (' LIBRARY GEOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE FIDDLING TRADITION IN OKLAHOMA Thesis Approved: 1,029474- ii PREFACE This thesis is a combination of two longstanding in­ terests--geography and fiddling. The background and origin of this unique study was fostered by Dr. Everett Smith, my undergraduate advisor at the University of Oregon, who first encouraged me to pursue a course of study which would com­ bine the two. Following my graduation of Oregon, I journeyed to Penn State University to attend the first meeting of the emergent Society for a North American Cultural Survey (SNAGS) and to meet Dr. George Carney, who had pioneered geographic re­ search in traditional American music. I later joined the graduate program at Oklahoma State University to work under Carney. While conducting my graduate studies, I received a Youthgrant from the National Endowment for_ the Humanities to establish an Archive of Oklahoma Fiddlers. This project was begun in the summer of 1976 and completed in the fall of 1977. During this same period of time, I was chosen to serve as "Resident Folk Artist" for the Oklahoma Arts and Humanities Council. Both of these experiences provided in­ valuable experience and information concerning music and culture in Oklahoma which became the foundation of this re­ search.
