Texan by birth.......hillbilly Ozarkian raised. Retired railroad ( Rock Island.... C.&N.W. ....Katy....S.P.....& U.P. railroad ), switchman...brakeman...conductor. I've been "fiddle fascinated" since pre-teens from hearing 2 old Ozark Co. Mo. fiddler brothers Kerr & Burt Mccullough. I have developing " essential tremors" which affects my bowing considerably. If only I could give the old " STRAD " justice....sorry Antonio....LOL. I play mainly for self entertainment.
