It was a great day for the Motor City Gathering, in spite of the Tiger's loss (which we did not know about until later anyway). Brian, Al, and myself were joined by Terry Bell, his son Dan and friend Ryan. We had lots of banjos, percussion, concertina, wind instruments, fiddle, and a big tambo Terry made.

I was hoping to attend... But, of course, working OT again. I would have loved set in and try to learn more about the Minstrel style of playing... I caught Terry at the Midland Folk Fest. this summer... and watched one of his banjo lessons... Maybe next time.

Yes, by all means, Terry, bring the fiddle!! I don't have time to reintroduce myself to it, this time around. Maybe I'll join you at Motor City 3!

<p>Tim, I am so rusty on the fiddle, that I would be too embarrassed to even attempt it, and the ears of all attending would surely suffer.</p>
