Love your fiddle....and keep it safe.

I have been at an A.C.E. student convention the past week where I was supposed to compete in violin/fiddle solo and duet (and I did, actually I won third place on both :))
While I was packing my case that morning -and my friends were cleaning the cabin (yes we slept in cabins...it was quite fun...) one of my friends knocked my fiddle off the bed. I tried to see what had happened, but they grabbed me and tried to keep me from seeing it.
Now, with me being someone who bites them self and others, that probably wasn't the wisest thing to do...but oh well. They were just trying to help. :) What good friends I have that would put themselves in the way of my dangerous teeth to help a friend. :)

Hang on- getting off subject.

Anyway, a piece off the top of my fiddle came completely off and I had to play like that while trying to balance the piece so it wouldn't fall off. And it worked, sorta...
I took it to a guy in Mount Airy that will repair it for me...but now I have to practice on my back up fiddle.
I hate that thing. It sounds like a broken record. I guess i should be thankfull that the whole thing isn't busted.
Allrighty, that's all. Oh! Like my new Profile pic.?
