      Roger,
      You’re my hero! Excellent news on the contest and congratulations on the top 5 finish.
      I have been torturing myself with regards to fiddle contests the last couple of years.
      I keep making excuses as to why I can’t/don’t enter one. We even have age handicapped contest I could pursue.

      But you had the courage to jump in there! That’s just outstanding.
      Thanks for sharing,
      George

      Well George, I was even happy with the youth group whom some played circles around me. That’s great news for our chosen passion.

      I am so glad you did this. It is a difficult experience to play in front of an audience. But I think everybody needs to do it once. Winning is great, but the experience is very good for the growth in playing.

      Well done, Roger! That’s quite the tune to tackle, especially at a contest. I hope you keep competing if you enjoyed the experience, sir.

      I did enjoy especially when it was over. 😀

      I’ve been giving thought to trying again after your encouragement. I very much enjoyed meeting the other fiddlers and preparing gave me a goal to work towards.

      When I saw that you had responded to my forum post, for a fleeting moment I was worried you might have bern looking for royalties for playing your tune. 🤣
