I'm having more & more deja vu, lately - but at least I know this hasn't been posted anywhere in this thread. (lol) 

Has anyone seen this? 

This documentary isn't new (2017?), but pretty amazing story!

 

An unlikely and highly entertaining documentary about a rural Ohio hillbilly with an obsession for 'Stradivari' and all things violin, who, through the magic of social-media, convinces a famous European concert violinist that he can make a copy of one of the most famous and valuable violins in the world. Fighting time, poverty, and most of all – himself – Danny Houck puts everything on the line for one shot at glory. 

...pretty sure you can tell Danny was living alone in that house. (lol) 

Great story!

Love this one ELCBK

Hope I got your screen name right I'm not wearing my glasses.

Saw this one about two years ago,of course it always seems I'll find something like this around December which is when I found it on line.

I need to get this and the red violin both on DVD.
