Darol has just released an incredible recording project called Diary of a Fiddler 2: The Empty Nest (available HERE)  Intended as a summation not only of his career as a performing and recording artist but also as a capstone to his enormously influential career as an educator, Diary of a Fiddler #2 appears as the acoustic world prepares for the 50th anniversary of the hugely influential David Grisman Quintet recordings which featured Anger. To herald the occasion, and to author a bookend to his own career, he has called upon dozens of his former mentees – three generations of fiddlers – who, taken together, make up a veritable who’s who of the violin-playing world.  Songs featured in this episode: All tracks featured are available on Darol’s new double album Diary of a Fiddler 2, available HERE….except for Lee Highway Blues by Darol Anger and Stuart Duncan which is on volume 1.  As Always a HUGE thank you to all of my sponsor’s that make this podcast possible each week!
