Watching the Crossroads Guitar Festival from 2004 on the Palladia channel.  James Taylor is playing, joined by Jerry Douglas, and there have been a couple of great shots of Jimmy and his Alembic.
 
Bill, tgo

On another thread, we had discussed the difference between violins and fiddles... (violins have strings - fiddles have strangs)
 
Our fiddler just sent me this tune he wants us to learn, featuring one of his favorite fiddlers - Brittany Haas.  
 

I was unfamiliar with Ms. Haas; I won't she's my new favorite, but I will say Alison Krauss is no longer the sole object of my fiddle affections........

After a vivid dream of a lost love (one of our dogs), I awoke to see a bright star peering through our window.  Seeing the star with out my corrective lenses is a feat in itself. . .  I couldn't sleep as the dream had me rattled.  Got my glasses and realized it was Sirius (Dog Star) peeking in at me, as I tumbled about trying to get back to sleep the Canis Major constellation star drifted out of the windows view . . . it occurred to me that when Sirius was first visible through the window is when I had the dream of our dog.
This got me obsessed with Sirius and through Wiki got me to Gojira - From Mars to Sirius.
