Joe Davoli is 31 and a fiddle wizard. The Baritone fiddle is strung heavy and tuned lower. It is also bigger than a violin but smaller than a viola.

Kat, go ahead and scan the cover if you want.

Thanks for the kind words about Photographs. My best friend Don Austin was on his way back to Ireland for an extended visit. He got Bronchitis and had to postpone his trip. I was working in his home town and nearly stopped by to visit him on my way home. I knew he was sick and probably wasn't up to a visit so I went home instead. Some time in that afternoon or nightime he died of heart failure. I have wondered since if I'd have stopped by things would have turned out better.

And yes, it took awhile to release this thing. But Billy has stock in an 8 track business and we were waiting to be sure CDs weren't some kind of fad.

And its not my band, its our band. That many Irish guys couldn't stay together under one leader that long, they lack the organizational skills. Just think if they'd joined up with the Highland Scots the two of them could have kicked the English back to Normandy. But alas, no enough organizational skills.
