ONe more thing, for those interested: I have my dad's fiddle now. PLayed it for the first time, yesterday, and again, today. Maybe he ws there helping but I sounded better than I have in ages. I know it has something to do with the fiddle AND, definitely the bow (you were right, bet!), but for not having played in years, I really was surprised!

No worms for me, garg...cremation takes care of that.
