That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 07, 2016

Was this artist like a fiddler groupie?

So I rubbed some steroid cream on my violin and voila!

And his playing is simply divine.

“when the orchestra has gone home, but she’s still suckin…”

This is the painting that yesterday’s artist was working on.

A click-to-enlarge version, of this slightly-cropped image, can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). A full, click-to-enlarge image can be found here.Cello Player is privately owned. It is shown with a click-to-humongous image, and described (mentions this painting), by a recent auction page.Several works by the artist included musical instruments.The cello’s position reminded me of the musician who recently won NPR’s 2016 Tiny Desk Contest. A congenital defect has forced her to play a violin like a cello (sort of the reverse of the painting). The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Second, of the 2 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (2 total).

Made mistake by ordering fiddle from Costco.

“So, first, we’re going to learn how to hold it.”

Helluva place to put the music stand !

Lesson # 1: “Place bow on strings…”

Trying to remember the words to “Thunderstruck”

His fiddling wasn’t bad, but his singing did him in.
