Fiddler for almost 20 years (should play better than I do). Madly in love with fiddle tunes. Seem to be attracted to jam busters. Not a performer, but like to make background music and can keep a dance going. Fortunate to live in SE Pennsylvania where there is a thriving OT music community. Also play some Klezmer tunes for synagogue celebrations, and classical music (in Ambler Symphony, community orchestra). Retired geologist. Struggling to maintain balance between activism to change the world (liberal secular social democracy seems to work best for the most people) and just playing music. Much as I love music, I don't think playing or performing can change the world. I'll be happy to be convinced otherwise.
