    Sweet! The nice swing you have suggests that it would go well with Harvest Home in a set…

        Thrilled to have become a FiddleHed early this year, just a few months after I started learning fiddle! What a fantastic community, guided by an amazing teacher in Jason! Really looking forward to going and growing as a FiddleHed in 2023. Happy New Year!

        Thank for this article. I especially appreciate the introduction to Evelyn Glennie. I wonder about her several references to deafness. I wonder whether this conference had something to do with people who are deaf.
