All sounds good! I can't wait to see how your fiddle comes out and hear how it plays! Maybe someday you'll build one for me out of Maine Spruce and Maple. Have you sourced any tonewoods up there yet?

Yes, BJ, I have some great Red Spruce, really old stuff. I've made a couple of mandolins out of it.
And I have found some Sugar and Red maple, and sawmill that calls me to look see what they come across.
It is a special thing to build with native wood.
After fiddle camp, and if this fiddle sounds especially good, I'll send it down to you but only for inspection.
Thanks, Steve, yeah, alot happening in my corner of the state if you seek it out. I see you are busy too.

Well, let's wait and see. My new freelance writing gig is really taking off quickly, and I can work whenever and wherever, so it just might happen you'll see me up in Maine! Art Bryan, one of my FAVORITE people in the OT community, teaches there. ** fingers crossed! **

I knew Art had been living in New Hampshire last I heard. Where is he teaching in Maine? Does he play fiddle now?
Congratulations on the writing! What kind of writing are you doing?

Wiow ! You have been busy. I'm impressed. You're hardly a "bum" Maine Fiddle Camp sound terrific. Think I'll look into that myself....Since reading about the average fidle practice time being 2 hours a day, which shook me up, I've been aiming at that also and what a difference in my learning rate. As long as I take 10 every 50 min. I'm fine.
Thanks for the inspiration.
