Band/artist history
June 13th 2003: my first violin arrived in the mail, so cheap that if I wouldn't manage to learn to play it and have fun with it, it wouldn't be too expensive for wall decoration.
November 25, 2003: found www.fiddleforum.com and signed up.
December that year I got a book with about a thousand Irish fiddle tunes and started to play those. And started recording as part of the learning process.
December the next year I bought a better fiddle, a Chech student violin, no label, made ca. 1950.
September 9th 2005: wrote my first two tunes that day.
March 2006: wrote a few more tunes this week, and started recording them. Just to give an idea of what I have in mind with these tunes. The abc's can be found on www.fiddleforum.com.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Not that often on a stage, I always play when we have people over. I like to play out in our backyard by the fire.
Really special moment: Fiddle Hell in Peine (Germany), that was one of the best weekends of my life.

Very impressive! Interesting in collaborating?

I really enjoyed listening to your music. You play very well, especially to have just started in 2003. I'll come by occasionally to look for new tunes you have done and put here.
By the way, I am fiddlebob on the Forum. I attended the first two fiddle hell events in Macks Creek, Misouri. They were both a lot of fun.
