Under The Big Top

Richard and I spent the weekend at Maine Fiddle Camp in Montville, ME learning new tunes, jamming with friends, and performing on stage with our practice groups. Cool, cloudy skies on Saturday could not stop the music! We had 3 fiddle workshops with different teachers, and I did a step dancing workshop in the afternoon. Sunday was absolutely perfect. Blue skies and a gentle breeze greeted us Sunday morning, and it only got better throughout the day. It was fun to see so many familiar faces and to meet new fiddlers young and old. Which brings me to comment on my favorite part of this fiddling and dancing sub-culture~ it is so inter and cross generational. The youngest fiddler attending was 5 and the oldest was 84... quite a range, don't you think? Avery will be the next generation, Richard and I are looking forward to the possibility of him being at camp with us in 5 years or so. If anyone is interested in more information about fiddling or contradancing, email us... we'd be happy to share our experiences and contacts.
