hi
hi, norm. thought we'd stop by and sign in!
You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on your saddle.
I love Jim & Willow!!! Jim's favorite sister - Barb
Hey! Nice Page.. I'm so glad to be listed as a Fiddlehead... don't tell the guys from Ash Creek. See you soon
Looking forward to dancing to your wonderful music again, last year was my first year dancing and most of the dances you folks played. I love the tunes and the dancers. Thank you for the music, without you we would have no dances.
We would like to know if you sell any tapes that we could use for our square dance group? We do not have available live music.Do you have tapes which include a caller and some with just music? Please send us an e-mail regarding this. Thank you. Harold
Gary It's always a pleasure to get together & pick with you. I'll see you at NOMAD
Wonderful music at NOMAD!!! Sweet, gentle, and zesty group. Great to dance to and to listen to and to watch the camaraderie you have... See you at a dance with Todd!
Hello to all. Norman sent me! Great site. I want to do one for my CD and the new one I'm working on. All my best to you all.
Come West ye Fiddleheads! We'd love to hear ye!
I'm interested in your experience as a member of the Contra Ring. I am working on the Country Dance New York web site. and was considering joining.
Cool! It would be nice to hear the band in its new iteration!
Yow!! I'm insanely jealous!!! Congratulations, Norm.
Please let all fiddlers know about the 'Fiddler's Dream' Retreat workshop we hold at our home in Eastern Kentucky (this spring/April 23-25). My father is the featured fiddler...legendary Old Time fiddler, J. P. Fraley. He has several recordings available, 'Wild Rose of the Mountain' and 'Maysville'. I will accompany my father on guitar at the workshop as well as on a forthcoming CD to be released by ROUNDER. MANY THANX! Danielle Fraley
Real nice website, Norm. See you on the dancefloor. Thanks as always for the great tunes!
It's not often I do this. In fact I only do it once in a BLUE MOON !!!!!Whats a BMAD ? It sounds fun I will be moving To Mass in April starting around the 15th. I'll see you at NEFFA And will make return visits to dance in CT. See Ya Todd
Hi, Nice site! Ages ago I was a "sometimes" Fiddleheads member. This was the late 1970's. It was fun to sit in and try to keep up. I was fairly new at playing for dancing. From the challenge of playing along in unfamiliar tunes, I learned to improvise, playing all around the melody. This has helped me through the years. It's nice to see the band continuing with new people moving in an out, but still playing the familiar great sound!
Hi Fiddleheads, I haven't danced to you yet, but I hope to arrange to get to the dance in Brooklyn Grange on June 5 when I am in New London for a conference (I need to find a ride). I like the hidden links on your website to fiddlehead recipes and the like. FYI - it looks like the link to Health Canada has changed, you don't get anything about fiddleheads. Cheers - hope to balance & swing to you soon, Alison Neilson
All of the above Guestbook Entries were moved by me to my server, today, 5/5/99
Fiddleheads came & stayed with me in Bookham Surrey Uk about 10-12 years ago. Good to be in touch again. I moved to the west country now. I picked up your page thro' CDSS org.
Nice visiting with you here in Cyberia. See you around the cybercampus. Hope to hear these 'Heads play one of these days.

You might want to add to your history of Fiddleheads that Pete Spicer and I were the originators of the band. It started in 1978. New Pete is in Santa Criz, CA and I'm in the NW corner of Washington State playing in a group called "Up in the Air." Pete and I could give you a lot of the early history if you like.

I like your homepage.Many informations. The Nashville Line Dancers Aalen (NLDA) have been performing this dance style with great enthusiasm already for several years. The group performs more than 130 dances of the category Country Line Dance and is regarded as one of Germany’s top Show Line Dancers. Elvis songs are presented in the best Line Dance fashion. ‘’Tribute To The King Of Music & Viva Las Vegas Dance Show’’ – their dance show is viewed as unique in Germany. They also act as background dancers in the show of the great, internationally well known Elvis double Jack Favor, who is also known as ‘’Eifel-Elvis’’, ‘’ the best Elvis since Elvis ’’. Their many performances speak for themselves: NLDA is Line Dance Show at it’s best. NLDA targets at having Line Dance (which originally supported only Country and Western Music) mingled with other music styles such as Elvis music, pop music etc. Thus Line Dance shall be opened to a broader audience and it shall be shown to the puplic, how divers this dance style with nowadays more than 4000 different dances can be. More Information about and contact to NLDA you get at: http://www.nlda.de or E-Mail: linedancersnlda@aol.com

To anyone wondering what's going on here: someone got mad at me a couple of years ago because I wouldn't let them edit my web pages - ever since then, strange nonsense has been getting posted here in the guestlog. At first, I just deleted it but eventually had to disable the form for posting entries (you can all thank Kwame Monsoon for this). Now, Kwame goes through this big hassle of hiding his real location to try to add more nonsense to this guestlog... I think he should get himself his own webpage where he could post to his heart's content but my guess is he has done that and no one ever visited his site.
So, Kwame-dude: keep trying!
