I must admit I admire anybody who can get a reasonable sound out of whatever the instrument is called. I also like the guts of anybody who has learned music in one fashion, ie from written score, putting the effort into learning it differently, ie by ear. I don't particularily enjoy hearing fiddle music alone and unending unless there's a lot of dancing involved but I was absolutely mesmerized by the playing of David Greenberg of Puirt a Baroque when I first heard them live two summers ago. He has classical training and traditional fiddle training.
