It is with Sad heart that I must to this next thing. It has been long in the coming and I shall certainly miss you. You have been part of my life and bought me joy in my days here. We shared things and experienced music in ways only friends can. You listened to my antics, and I listened to you sounding off. It seems like we've known each other longer then we have, time is funny that way. The Fiddler is now on her way to Utah. Certainly she shall be missed. Goodbye my friend.

Oh, what? You thought I was leaving FM! HA!! Not hardly. You all have to put up with me for a while longer. I may disappear for a few days on end, work life sometimes gets in the way. I'll be not on the road for work for a while now, so, I can get some music in on one of my violins. I think they believe I've dumped them for the Traveler. She is a beauty for certain, but now to get re-acquainted with my own. I can scarcely remember playing them.

I know her future looks bright and I hope whoever is able to part of this whole endeavor enjoys their time with her as I did. What a great idea this has been. I am honored to have been part of it. Perhaps on its second go 'round, In another 4 or 5 years, Fiddler2 will head this way. Until that point, I say just enjoy the music whatever your skill or ability. In the end, the happiness you have in your present days are what makes those memories for tomorrow.
