It seemed a logical thing to attempt after mandolin (my weapon of choice), and I'm glad I've tried it. I'm currently between fiddles, so you're spared me posting anything. Reminds me, I really must get a new one - What few chops I have are rusting already. A fine instrument. Great fun to play. |

CARA (Oaks) If you read their reviews, about the twelfth one is by a famous international music critic who extols one of the finest fiddle tunes ever composed. Check out the review from Canada. Every CD is worth twice the price. |
