I have no clue how to use this thing, either. |
Cloverdale, CA
Fiddles get a bad rap. The same grandmother who constantly told me
to “stop fiddling around” also used the phrase “Oh, fiddlesticks!” as some form
of cursing…probably those times when I refused to stop fiddling around.
Fact is, it’s a complicated
instrument ignored by so many lazy youth who’d rather make fart noises into an
autotune machine. Luckily, the
Cloverdale Historical Society works to preserve the fiddling culture and
celebrates its heritage each year with a good ol’ fashioned fiddling
contest.
Competition is stiff, and the
rules are clear: no performing under the influence of drugs or alcohol. On the other hand, considering how difficult
of an instrument this is to master, I’d actually like to see someone try…
