Yesterday, I had what I think was the most enjoyable and rewarding practice I have had to date in my short, almost 3 month experience of learning the fiddle. I wrote about it in my blog and want to share it with you.

I read that blog post MoonShadows and it sounded more like 10 crummy strokes of luck to me... not three.
