Interesting note on Mark O'connor Gary Lee Moore once said at FiddleTunes that Mark Oconnor won the Weiser fiddle contest 4or5 years in a row and was told he would be a judge the following year and give other kids a chance. Well he gave some kids who made the slightest error a zero out of ten, cause he was mad he couldnt compete. Hows that for encouragement? Of course it could be Gary made this up.
