Somewhere Over the Rainbow - cigar box fiddle - Videos

Thanks everyone! I built that fiddle spring of 2020 and it has been carried all over and played by quite a few bluegrass and old time musicians, but this my have been the first time a "violinist" had their hands on it. I had a good time at this party. The host lives in Nashville about 2 hours from me. We were roommates way back in the late 80s in Memphis.

Back in July of 2018 Ben (the party host) was running a small art gallery in downtown Nashville. We did a show of my home made instruments. I had a good time playing the part of "the artist", but I think from now on I'll stick to the festival scene lol. Anyway, Ben asked me to bring some instruments to the party. I'm always ready to be a show of so I did. I ended up playing in a impromptu band, mostly on the washtub bass lol.
