Old time fiddler playing old-time fiddle tunes in reels waltz ragtime jig and hoedowns on violin with progressive texas swing style guitar chords from Herrin Illinois

First love is playing second to fiddle or banjo with guitar. Then I love playing the fiddle, because it is awesome. Also can play a few tunes on the five string Banjo. A few songs on the Mandolin, since it is tuned like a fiddle. I Like playing Bass Guitar, and I have a Fender Stratocaster that I've been learning the five positions on the neck of the Minor and Major Pentatonic scales on. I'm Single with a 17 yr old son who is my bestest friend. He got his SCUBA Certification the summer of 2006, so He and I scuba dive together quite a bit. I'm also a member of our county's Underwater Search and Recovery Team. I love making homemade wine, which I make close to 100 gal a year. Also an amateur Luthier (maker of stringed instruments) of fiddles and guitars. Violins are a curious little instrument. Something that is just made from wood, but can sing such a beautiful noise, and generate peace and harmony within our soul.
