What's left of my gggrandfather's fiddle.
His name was David Clark Baker and he used to play fiddle on the north end of Portland, Indiana on Friday and Sat. nights. David was also an attorney. The earliest date inside the fiddle is 1808. That's a digital of his portrait.

I had the front door open yesterday morning and held my hand up to block the sun.
Reached for the camera and took a few shots. They are very slow fiddle fingers, but I
play a mean waltz.
Renaissance Fairs are a great place to see a whole bunch of people in period outfits - either as performers, cast members, vendors, or ordinary lay people that like the spirit of the Ren Fairs and show up as Faces in the Crowd. I'm a Ren Fair fan and I was fortunate to visit the Minnesota Ren Fair in Shakopee, MN, in September 2011. This set includes people that caught my attention and fall into one of the categories listed above - hopefully I labeled them correctly. If you're in the Minnesota area, you should check this Fair out - it is a photographers dream.

I bought this doll when Sally Star died. She was a Cowgirl TV personality that had a show in the 1960's. She would ride her horse and show cartoons in the after school. Unfortunetly she smelled like cigarette smoke and bacon when I got her. A nasty combination. I was able to wash most of her clothes and aired her out pretty good,

Fiddling on a cliff at Ritchie Ledges in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Self portrait still grabbed from a video.
I am currently hosting a traveling fiddle, and part of having it is taking it around your local area and playing it/sharing it.
Here is my newest video... bear with me, I've only been playing a year and get nervous playing in public, hahaha youtu.be/t-Zkd0eKF04

Lovingly restored fiddle made by William and Harry Juner
Newcastle on the Tyne 1857. An example of vernacular fiddle
making in England. One can imagine the colorful life a fiddle
like this had playing country dances, street bands morris dancing,
house music and even partaking in an orchestra. Did this cherished
possession of the player travel to America during a late 19c immigration
or did it arrive with a tommy seeking a fresh start after the
Great War? Sometime it fell into disrepair. The back was repaired.
It may have languished in someones closet for decades. One day
someone said "Why don't we fix it up for "Sally" to learn to play violin?"
The music store clerk pointed out expensive repairs and suggested a trade.
"Sally" and her parents walked out with a brand new violin. In hard times
music stores go out of business. Abandoned violins, fragments and spare parts were a treasure to an old tinker. He never got around to working on
this one. His estate was settled. Someone got his stuff and offered it on eBay as part of a large lot of violin parts. That's how I got it. The original top was lost. The ribs were intact on the back and there was a scroll in the lot that was a likely match. I crafted a new top and set it up with vintage gut strings. Hopefully It looks like it did when it
was cherished by the player.
A lunchtime stroll along the Meadows and up to the Underbelly. Watched a fiddler for a wee while and generally had a nice wee wander round.
Plus the Himmy of course.. But sadly no cappuccinos to be had here anymore!!
From yesterday's 109 mile ride..
The Cat and Fiddle is a road in England between Buxton, Derbyshire and Macclesfield, Cheshire, named after the Cat and Fiddle Inn public house at its summit. Formed by parts of the A537, A54 and A53, it is famous for its scenic views across the Greater Manchester conurbation, the Peak District National Park and the Cheshire Plain, and for its many bends. It is extremely popular with motorcyclists, and is often classed as the most dangerous road in the United Kingdom.

Looking out toward the Cat and Fiddle roads we see the outline in the snow, of both the old and new roads, which are visible in the top right quarter of the image.
The new road opened in 1823, it was built in response to the difficulty's posed by the steeper inclines of the more direct old road.
The old road was built to transport goods by packhorse, when larger heavy loads with horse and cart increased it became difficult to manage the hills.
The new road was designed to minimise the gradient, keeping as flat as possible, hence the large number of bends.
