The Tiffany Transcriptions Volume 10 “Fiddlin’ Man”
Kaleidoscope Records F-39
Volume 10 was planned, but never came out due to Kaleidoscope Records being sold. Its new owners never released it. Kaleidoscope got as far as having test pressings and art work made. It was planned to come out on LP, CD and Cassette. The LP was going to be a picture disc with a hand tinted (pre-photoshop days) picture of Bob Wills on one side and a tinted picture of Tommy Duncan on the other. The CD and cassette were going to have pictures on them as well. This was to be the last of the LPs and the last of what Kaleidoscope Records felt were the cream of the crop recordings.
Some people call The McKinney Sisters CD, “Volume 10″ but this is not correct. That was part of a new series and was numbered 6002. 6001 was to be an album of Bob Wills fiddle tunes from the Tiffany Transcriptions.
The fiddle album never got past the planning stages.

This is really exciting!! Do you have a release date for vol. 10 yet? Can’t wait to get my hands on that!
Thanks pal,

This is not coming out. It was planned but never released. I have no control over any new releases of the Tiffany Music Company. The last contact I know of was several years ago and there was no interest in releasing anything then.
understood, bummer. Thanks pal.
Hello there,
do you intend to provide the complete Tiffany Transcriptions for download? Would you do that? If not, why?
Cheers.
This site is for information only. I will NOT have the Tiffanys available for download. I do not own the master rights to the Tiffany Transcriptions. They are still under copyright in the United States. I do not own the publishing rights to the compositions, only a few are “traditional” and in the Public Domain. The ownership and eventual release of all the Tiffany Transcriptions is a much talked about topic. Perhaps someday they will all be available, but since I have no control over that, I can only add infornmation to this website.
Thanks for providing the samples. They sound great!
I agree with the other commenters./
The songs sound terrific — and exciting.. like hearing never-before-heard Beatles songs.
And .. I LOVE Junior Barnard’s solo on Fiddlin’ Man. So brilliant.
Thanks so much for posting.
The new Kaleidoscope section is fascinating.
Good investigative work on your part. Thanks.
What a treat to hear Junior Barnard’s riffs at the end of the Zoom ad.
Yeah, these riffs are familiar, somewhat used in his intro to Fat Boy Rag but not quite… and he throws a piece of them into his Girl I Left Behind Me solo but again, not quite. I don’t think he ever did the same thing exactly the same way, though many riffs are familiar (and great) and yet all so original, which is impressive.
In the video clip of the band and Junior doing Goodbye Liza Jane, it’s an interesting Barnard solo in D, starting up high on the neck where he does that funny counter punctual (high notes while plucking a low note in-between) — what an invention (!) …. and then starting the second passage low on the neck — and swinging always!
I find it remarkable because they were probably lip synching, having done the songs in a Hollywood studio (please correct me if I’m wrong)… yet Junior (and the others i.e. Kelso) seem to be playing very close to what he would have had to play to produce those riffs… Even bands on American Bandstand didn’t take that much care to get it right..
(One very quick aside. When I was a kid watching American Bandstand, my mother refused to believe that a band would lip synch.
They wouldn’t do that, she said, suggesting it would be dishonest. She was naive, but I appreciate her values!
