Salado Museum and College Park will host Texas Fiddle Talk with Scotland’s Colin MacLeod, world-renowned musician, educator and historian, Tuesday, July 15, at 1:00pm in the museum’s Lucile A. Robertson Center. Titled You Never Know Unless You Bow, Mr. MacLeod’s one-hour lecture in word and music tells the story of where the Scottish fiddle has taken Texas as a State…from Crockett at the Alamo to today’s music scene.

“Mr. MacLeod’s presentation will include live fiddle music with a historical Texas focus, creating a rare opportunity to experience the Celtic fiddle as Davy Crockett would have played it,” says Lynette Jones, museum executive director. “We encourage everyone to come to the museum for this one-time-only experience.”

Mr. MacLeod is visiting Texas and has graciously offered to share his limited time here to provide a fundraising opportunity for the museum (www.saladomuseum.org). All are welcome to attend with a suggested $10 donation per person at the door.

Known as the Celtic Fiddle Guru and Storyteller, Colin MacLeod is a Scottish native who has been playing Celtic fiddle for more than 40 years. He achieved Grade 8 Violin Distinction, played in Celtic bands in Australia, and has hosted Celtic fiddle workshops in Scotland, Australia and the United States since 2007. Colin regularly performs and teaches, both in person and online, in Europe, Australia and North America.
