Subject: RE: Learning violin versus learning fiddle
"Volgadon misses the point that Eliza Carthy grew up in a folk household (wherever she was trained) and was probably pushed in a pram by the likes of Dave Swarbrick. She's a fine musician from a musical family."

What I was saying is that I don't think her playing suffered from classical training, because she brought something to the music. That's what is important, to love the music, to put your heart into it and then it won't matter what style you play.
