Problematic Tune Names (Magpie's Nest‪)‬ Fiddle Studio

    • Music Commentary

Have you ever been uncomfortable saying the name of a fiddle tune? How about tunes with slurs in the title or the Irish tune I Buried My Wife and Danced on her Grave?
Without using racial slurs, I discuss problematic fiddle tune names, how I think about them and approach them.

Our tune is Magpie's Nest, an Irish reel.
