Hi Yolanda, it’s too bad you are 100 miles away via my least favorite highway (I-40). Maybe when it warms up we could meet somewhere in the middle in a park or something like that. In the meantime, perhaps a Zoom meetup would work. Send me a private message (or just email mkc766@gmail.com) and we could set something up.

I’m a beginner fiddler who over the years keeps losing my way. I’m on a 3-month hiatus from fiddling now and I don’t want it to go any longer. Traveling and life stuff got in the way but I had my fiddle with me so it’s totally all my fault!

I learned Wheels on the Bus by ear!! So excited and encouraged. I have to say it took me listening to it repeatedly many, many times. I’m embarrassed to remember how long I spent on it, but it paid off and I’m happy!!

    thanks, Jason!!

So many messages in it, I think I’m going to print it out to reread when I need a reminder.

    Finally, CONGRATS!!! I’ve been keeping you and Melissa in my thoughts for this wonderful event to happen and…[Read more]
