“If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.” Safe to say that nine times out of ten, that fiddle player probably came from Llano. Llano has a fiddle history as long as the Llano river and twice as deep.
Originating in the “old country,” front porch fiddle playing was a common form of evening entertainment in the Texas Hill Country, a family tradition passed on from father to son that begat many famous fiddlers.

Fields full of purple, red, and yellow flowers greet a multitude of colorful migratory birds, and all the other animals that call this part of the Lone Star State home seemingly awaken from their season- ...
