2014.09.27 Jim Morris: String Instrument Making. Capon Bridge WV Founders Day

This is my demonstration at a local festival. A bit challenging with about 50 people in the pavillion and only about 15 of them actually interested in what I was doing. My friend Jeanne helped out with some playing.

Yeah,  mouth and bow thingy. Never heard of one before.

Never saw or heard the flute side of your talents. Love it!

Jeanne seems to be a joy to play with. Really nice playing on her part too.

I'm usually a bit more focused in smaller settings but the crowd noise and my 4 yr old grandson shouting "pap-pap" during the demo had me a little off my game!
