Descended from a family that brought their square dance fiddlin from Colorado to the Spokane, WA area for logging jobs, today’s guest continues a family tradition that goes back at least 3 generations. She plays a lot of tunes familiar to me, including ones my Grandpa played like Snow Deer and Roxanna Waltz. Her longtime friend from just across the river, Dianne Allen provides some piano backup rarely heard anymore.. It is kinda like stepping back into time..just coming off the boat in the Columbia Gorge, stopping at Hood River for a night cap and catching some music at the local pub. This is my friend, Donna Reuter.

Remember a few episodes back when we heard about a couple fiddlers from a-cross the country who changed the fiddle scene in the Pacific Northwest? Today, we come full circle and hear from an old friend who has been fiddling in Oregon since he was a kid and learned from his Mom, who was inspired and got to learn directly from one of those fiddlers when he was here all those years ago. Many of the tunes in today’s episode come from that source, Big Wheel is keeping that tradition alive and adding his own voice to it, which is why I love him so much! Yup, every tune in this episode is in cross..Enjoy!
