Thanks Randy. Miki has a beautiful voice - I'd like to hear her version. The Water is Wide and Amazing Grace were real nice.

Good one Jim, one of my Miki`s favorite songs to sing.

Thanks SlowHound and thanks for inspiring us Ruth! Thanks Unc. It's still a challenge for me to sing with a fiddle shoved up in my throat.

I'm thinking it might be worth the $50 price tag so my neck doesn't hurt after playing for a while. Even better if I can copy the design and make some of my own!
