After the Grand Masters Fiddler Championship concluded, word had it there was a Texas Fiddle jam session in a filthy dark parking lot at a motel on the south side of town, so that’s where we headed. We drove up, I grabbed the old white painted fiddle out of the truck and went to work on some “Tennessee Wagoner”. It’d been a while since I had pulled up a seat at one of these, oh maybe a quarter century, but in no time I was feelin’ like that young teen in my memoir again, Crossing Bridges. Long remember Benny Thomason y’all. Don’t let us get too far way from the memory bank. The ‘70s were a magical time in this music. Thanks to the young players I found myself with in these moments such as Maddie Denton. Keep it going! Make Nashville a place where the fiddle rules again! What a weekend from our Opry guest spot to the parking lot. You never know where the magic will surface. Be ready to make it happen in all the places.
