Hot Time




 



On Sunday July 22 the South Dakota Old Time Fiddlers traveled to Hartington, NE to play a show for the 2012 Cedar County Fair.  Outside it was triple digits - but inside it was air conditioned comfort with some hot fiddling on the stage.  The crowd loved the show and the fiddlers loved playing for the crowd.  Old time music at its best - LIVE !!

Earlier in the day the group entertained the folks at the local nursing home.  As usual, toes tapped and people sang along to many of their favorites.

Thanks to the fiddlers for making the trip memorable and of course, thanks to the folks in Hartington for inviting us.  See ya next year.

How about some bluegrass ??

This is another group of musicians that have been getting together and playing music in the northeastern corner of South Dakota.  They like to play bluegrass as well as old country standards and some pretty good fiddle tunes.  They have been spotted playing in Britton, Grenville, Roslyn and Sisseton  SD.  They also venture into North Dakota and will be playing at the Sargent County Fair in Foreman, ND on July 28th.  They claim that they play for the fun of it, and if you get to hear them, you'll know it's true.

Fiddlers at Pipestone, MN




The South Dakota Old-Time Fiddlers had a great time putting on a show in Pipestone, MN at the Performing Arts Center on Sunday July 15.  The audience listened and enthusiastically clapped, sang along, tapped their toes and stomped their feet as the group entertained them for just over two hours.  Thanks to all who played the music and a huge thank you to the folks in Pipestone who invited the fiddlers over for an afternoon of music and also to all the area businesses that donated door prizes.
