Don, I can't speak for Everybody, but yes, side does go in the background. In our bunch, the fiddlers always introduce the tune and play it at least one time thru,then pass it to somebody. They can pass it on or give it back to us. We can also call another person to take it after the First Person we called. But yes, the Side can intro the tune then turn it over to somebody else to take the lead.

Good suggestion, Michael! But who..........
