simple pleasures

"i lived in the wood until i was slain by the relentless axe. in life

i was silent....but in death my melody is exquisite."

~motto carved on a violin by luthier gasper duiffoprugcar

i watched a group of talented artisans make these at an 'old time' fiddlers convention

...held in a cow pasture by a creek... up in the north carolina mountains.

there was music...toe tapping...food...and fellowship aplenty.

simple pleasures....
