Please begin by telling us anything you would like to about yourself. Age, place of birth, residence, etc.
Hi, StoneDog here. I am 62 years on the planet and rocking on. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. USA. I have a son who just got out of the Marines and a daughter who is a senior at Lincoln Park Performing Arts High School. Really great school. She spends half her day doing musical theater, dancing and singing > SWEET!!!
What made you decide to play the violin?
The sound of this instrument sends bolts of pleasure though my spirit.
I’m a guitar player. I like putting musical tracks together. I also play with vids a bit. I have a few things out there. I can put the rhythms, base, drums, and other various percussions to my tracks. (I have attached an mp3 of one of my tracks I did about two years ago) BUT what has always been missing and something one cannot just import into the tracks I work with is the VIDDLE. When working with my music I have always had the need to hear some violin/fiddle within the track. SOooo I figured I better learn how to play one. Wellllllllllllllllll > easier…

Thanks all > This was an unexpected privilege and I enjoyed the process. I think the Traveling Fiddle will be coming to my house in the near future and I will have a video of it and me playing it. I have learned a lot from this site but have much to learn. I haven’t played my guitar since I started this journey with the viddle. I did pick it up for the first time since January due to an invite to a jam with some old friends I used to play with. I needed to get the feel of it again What really ROCKs!!! is I am going to be taking the viddle with me to this jam. I’m very excited to play the viddle at this jam.
Thanks again for your support >> You all ROCK!!!!!!!!

Gosh, SD, awesome story about playing for little crowds of bunnies. I'd like to try that myself sometime.
Have you been able to identify any animal equivalents of say groupies or scalpers?

Nice to meet you Mr. Dog. Heehee. These interviews are fun to read. Being a newer member on this board, the interviews are really helping me get to know you all better and making me feel excited at the wide variety of people we have, all here for the same reason.
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

You guys can hand off the traveler to each other in that case.

Hi Rick
Great interview
I would have posted earlier but have been have been having a couple of health 'hiccups' over the last week.
It would seem that we have something in common apart from the violin and age, gardening.
I'm a trained horticulturist and am into 'propagation' big time. It's spring here now and the climate is subtropical. All of the garden is going nuts
It was great to find out more about you.
Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of 
..... What was I saying????
