"...I have really enjoyed my 2 CD Fiddler Mag Favorites set and companion book. I listen to it all the time and as a student, it has become one of my favorite study tools. I can play a lot of the songs in the book now, and I don't think I would have learned them as quickly if I didn't have both the transcriptions AND the CD with the artist playing the full song...I hope you do another set like this soon!" -- subscriber, New York City
