Old time fiddle, bluegrass, and irish are my aspirations. I do know where Glen Lyn is, I pass by it on my way up to the New River Gorge, I had no idea there was a festival there. I live more in the direction of Galax and the Old Fiddler's Convention is what most people around talk about. Thanks for the info!

Thanks turtlehead. He was a true scholar and gentleman. I have a video from a couple of years ago of him playing one of my fiddles at Clifftop. He was just walking past my camp to get a sweater and stopped to remark about the odd looking fiddle I was playing, then sat down and played a tune on it. A highlight for me!
