I'm not sure if I ever posted this before. I have new one from last year too.

We saw them at SDC a couple times. My sister has a huge crush on her grandson!

They moved her into the old Carousel barn this last October. Her family thought it was getting too hot out on the square. Rube, have you ever thought about building a violin. I think that would be awesome

This is a wonderful lady. I've met and spoken with her. She is a true living legacy, and I'd highly recommend if you can afford one of her fiddles you better get one soon. She's been around a long, long time, and time is running out.

I made it to her birthday celebration at the park a few years back, and sat and talked with her about her magazine appearances (National Geographic etc.) Great lady. I thought about making a violin, but had no clue where to start! I think the next tree I have to fall on our land will have to be a nice walnut for us to use for something like this...or to have someone make a fiddle for us out of it!

Maybe I can get one from her grandson. She was teaching him how to build them when I was there

She is definitely a dynamic lady! I had the chance to meet her last October as well. She was there, still working hard on those fiddles. :)
