Dear Fiddlers,

I hope this message finds you all in good spirits and surrounded by the joy of music. Your dedication and efforts continue to bring smiles to many faces, and for that, we are truly grateful. A special note to those who are currently recovering: you are missed dearly, and we send our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Our recent performances have been nothing short of delightful! At Mountain Glen, M/V, we had the pleasure of welcoming Ben on Stand Up Bass, Vern on Banjo, and Micki on Guitar and singing – a wonderful addition to our ensemble. Together with our Mandolin players, Guitars, and the rest of the talented musicians, we serenaded 40 residents with classics like “You Are My Sunshine.” The atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie, and it was heartwarming to see so many smiling faces. Though the parking lot was full, the music brought us all together in celebration.

Looking ahead, we have more exciting events and performances on the horizon. Recently, we had a fantastic turnout at Country Meadows, where our talented lineup of musicians, including Ben on Bass, Vern on Banjo, Greg, Steve, Dennis on Mandolin, Dwight, Gary, and Rich on guitar, Peggy on Fiddle, and Forrest on vocals, entertained 35 enthusiastic listeners. A big thank you to all who participated and helped make the event a success!

As we move forward, let’s continue to spread the joy of music and create unforgettable memories together. Stay tuned for upcoming performances and events, and let’s keep the spirit of old-time fiddling alive!
