Coincidentally, I am also in Alexandria, Virginia. I play fiddle in a band called the Bold Deceivers.
My background is various kinds of country music— Western Swing, Honky Tonk, bluegrass, etc., but I’ve been getting interested in Cajun and Irish music, and since I’ve been on this site, Quebecois and Scottish styles too.
I’d love to see new instructors added to the rotation (Cajun and Western swing especially) but I’m actually glad that those styles aren’t represented by a specialist on here yet because if they had been I probably wouldn’t have realized how great the Quebec and Scottish styles are.
