Learning 'Pretty Saro.' Discovering the genius of Bruce Molsky. Gifted with 5 DVDs from some fiddle friends....three of 'Visits with Tommy Jarrell' (recordings set up inside his house), as well as some performances from Clifftop 2008. When Bruce plays his fiddle, I feel like he's sharing himself rather than the fiddle playing. It seems like he's saying something when he plays.
The fiddle is less alluring to me these days. I've been a little banjo-focused. Which is fine - been needing to learn some new tunes. Still going at 'Shortenin' Bread' on the fiddle....need to move onto 'Sugar Hill'....soon.
