This week Salwarpe’s FANTASTIC FIDDLING thread has been a remarkable success. But right now it’s Saturday evening and I’m suffering from withdrawal symptoms. I am longing for some more string-driven things.

I want more Strads in my space-age Scandinavian pad.

Please, let’s have more bowing before it’s starts snowing.

Rub in the resin before Hubert tosses his fez in.

Western swing, Gipsy jazz. Mournful Highland ballads. Innovative String quartets, Breton all-nighters. Loch-side ceilidhs… See comments for a few of my favourites …..
