First Fiddle Blog Entry

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Well, today's March 19.  I got my fiddle out again the other day and tinkered with it for a little while.  According to this site, it looks like it was about 3 weeks ago I posted a few topics about bridge adjustments and what not.  Didn't really do much after that.  I have a hard time playing the fiddle, as I'm primarily a banjo player (not a very good one, either!)  I find that when I play, I get frustrated and I switch over to the banjo just to make music.  I don't know. 

I guess maybe I'll start a topic on practicing.  See what people have to say about it.

Hmm...I primarily play old-time banjo and I'm trying to learn the fiddle in order to be able to play more. You know, just expand my old-time knowledge. Besides, the fiddle is awesome and seems to allow more diversity within old-time. At times, the banjo can be limiting. Otherwise, in a nutshell, I am 30 years old, born in Cleveland and raised in Bay Village. I attended The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster, OH. I moved around for a few years, lived in Western North Carolina for a few years and learned old-time down there. I am now living in Medina, OH. I just moved there on Saturday, Feb. 16 to help my parents develop and farm some land nearby in York Township. I'm trying to make some old-time connections here so I can continue playing with people, maybe form a band...I don't know. More to come in the future...
