just me playing a lap fiddle I built recently. It was a really simple build. I used staples from a staple gun for frets so it took almost no time at all to make

Dang! That’s nice.  Close my eyes and see you on a beat wood porch in Appalachia...

Are you worried for famely or friends out there in the middle east? Matthew or does it bring back unwanted memories?( believe you was stationed there NO? ) You have not lost it your verry musical on that primitiv gittyola! just like those pallastinians did you see how they build holes in the ground under a angle to send off there Rockets to israel ? crazy stuff fireing stuff like that in urban aria's, good to hear from you !

So good to see you again Matthew and to hear your plaintive refrain. Your fretted fiddle sounds just right for this old tune. It sounds to me like a Civil War soldier on a fiddle made on the battlefield. It ‘s very moving.
