For the past several years on the Wed. before Thanksgiving, I pack up my guitars, mando, banjo, mountain and hammer dulcimers, and head off to an inner city school to perform and educate the kids about instrument history and, in particular, the importance of these in traditional Kentucky music. Most years I do this solo but have had the pleasure of working with a couple or three guitar pickers who add a lot to the presentation. But I've never had the privilege of taking a fiddler. And with the impact that fiddle playing has had in traditional music, it's a wonder that the music teacher keeps asking me back.
So this year I'm making a call for a fiddler who would consider taking a couple of hours out of a busy life in order to entertain and educate about 450 kids. There is no financial consideration, but the personal reward is tremendous.
