fiDDler’s Curse – reviseD anD upDateDThe Untold Story of Ervin T. Rouse, Chubby Wise, Johnny Cash and the Orange Blossom Specialby Randy NolesForewords by Marty Stuart and John HartfordOne of the most bizarre stories in all of popular music is the history

of “Orange Blossom Special,” arguably the century’s best-known fiddle tune. The man credited with its ownership, Ervin T. Rouse, endured tragedy, alcoholism, and mental illness, and died all but unknown. The man who claimed co-ownership, Chubby Wise, achieved fame as a bluegrass fiddler, but struggled to overcome personal demons. Johnny Cash, the tortured superstar who made the song a mainstream hit, quietly championed Rouse and earned the enmity of Wise. This trio’s disparate legacies are here told – and forever linked with the legendary diesel steamliner.00001081 226 pages..............................................................$14.95

it was a trip, on winGs of MusiCby Jerry ByrdA fixture on the country scene, Jerry Byrd was a session player in Nashville in the mid-1940s and was influential in the development of the “Nashville Sound.” Drawn to the music of Hawaiian steel guitar-ists, he went on to develop a style

and invent tunings that would become synonymous with the instrument. In 1972, Byrd headed for Hawaii, only to discover that the islands had turned their back on the instrument that gave them their signature sound. Thus, Byrd’s mission became to reacquaint Hawaii with its own creation. His inspi-ration not only bridged country and Hawaiian music, but also secured the steel guitar’s place in the 21st century. 00000317 144 pages ............................................................. $24.95

the Guitar TABINCLUDES

ChorD shapes of Charlie Christianby Joe WeidlichThe concepts and fingerings in this book have been developed by analyzing the licks used by Charlie Christian. Chord shapes are moveable; thus one can play the riffs in virtually any key with-

out difficulty by simply moving the shape, and fingerings used to play them, up or down the fingerboard. The author shows how the chord shapes – F, D and A – are formed, then can easily be modified to major, minor, dominant seventh and diminished seventh chord voicings. Analyzing licks frequently used by Charlie Christian, Joe has identified a series of what he calls tetrafragments, i.e., the core element of a lick. The identifi-able "sound" of a particular lick is preserved regardless of how many notes are added on either side of it, e.g., pickup notes or tag endings. Many examples are shown and played on the CD of how this basic concept was used by Charlie Christian to keep his solo lines moving forward. Weidlich also makes observations on the physical manner Charlie Christian used in playing jazz guitar, and how that approach contributed to his smooth, mostly down stroke, pick technique.00000388 Book/CD Pack .....................................................$19.95

ness. The man who claimed co-ownership, Chubby Wise, achieved fame as the seminal fiddler of the bluegrass genre, but struggled to overcome personal demons and to heal the scars of childhood abandonment and abuse. This fascinating book uncovers how their legacies are forever linked with the legendary diesel streamliner which inspired the tune. The CD includes the original 1939 recording, Gordon Rouse & Chubby Wise interviews, 10 tracks of OBS by world-famous artists, plus bonus tracks of the Rouse Brothers and Chubby Wise.00000282 Book/Bonus CD (214 pages) ..............................$24.95
