Comment by Luis Carlos on August 26, 2013 at 9:56am: I like you Fiddle!

Comment by Jim Morris on August 26, 2013 at 9:07am: Thanks Low Budget. Man, what a fantastic bunch of builds you've got!

Comment by Low Budget Luthier on August 26, 2013 at 8:46am: SH*T HOWDY!!!

Comment by Jim Morris on August 26, 2013 at 8:10am: Thanks Willardj and ED. Thanks SlowHound - since moving to WV about 11 years ago I've really gotten immersed in this old time music. I was lucky to move to an area that has a thriving group playing this music and some of the best fiddlers in the world live around here and are happy to show stuff to youngsters like myself! Oh I still play some rock and blues but man carrying amps and PA stuff around and wearing ear plugs isn't where my heart is anymore.

Comment by Willardj on August 26, 2013 at 7:47am: Sounds great...

Comment by SlowHound on August 26, 2013 at 7:27am: I've always admired the old timey tone of your builds and your playing.

Comment by Bad Finger (Eric) on August 26, 2013 at 7:25am: Bravo!
