Hardi often fiddles dance tunes as preludes to the Saturday Night Service, and we did an item as a trio (fiddle, cello, autoharp) one Sunday AM as a prelude as well. He also fiddles as part of our group for the rest of the hymns as well. I think he'd love to do a fiddle offertory as well, expcet he is ALSO the clergyman preparing the alttar while WE do the offertory!

Whiskey Before Breakfast makes a damn fine prelude, as do Manage the Miser, Old Joe Clark... Hardiman could tell you more. The Morpeth Rant seemed especially funny coming from the preacher.... Now he is working on The Growling Old Man and the Old Woman, he says.
