Hi everyone!

I am the newest of newbs and just picked up my first fiddle one week ago. I have wanted to play for almost 10 years but I was hyper focused on my career. Now things are a bit slower and I found a fantastic shop in my city that has free beginner lessons with potluck dinner and bluegrass jam afterwards every Sunday. After my first lesson, I was absolutely hooked and rented a fiddle before I left the shop that day. 

I have to say my real fascination with the "fiddle" came from watching Cold Mountain where traditional music played a huge role in the musical score. The range of emotion, the ties to culture and religion, the versatility of the instrument pulled me right in. 

I look forward to getting to know a lot of people and hope I can grow to be a half way decent musician.
