Welcome to HotFiddles.com!
Hi Everyone!
I'm Susie, and I play with Hot Fiddles. In addition to playing the fiddle, I am also the creator of this website with some help from my dad. I will try to keep it updated with all our newest products, and dates. The following poem is one of my favorites, because it describes how my sister, Sharon and I feel about the fiddle. I sometimes get so into my music, that everything else just disappears. It's just me, my fiddle (Rocky), and my music. To learn more about Sharon and me, go to Who We Are.
I'm Sharon, and I play fiddle for Hot Fiddles too. I love the poem below, and music makes me understand myself better. One of my favorite songs to play for a crowd is "Mason's Apron", in a version taught to me by Mari Black. My fiddle is named Mount Greylock, after a mountain in the Appalachians. I got it from Tennessee, and it is one of only thirteen in the High Peaks Series. To find out more about the man who sold us these violins (Steve Perry), click HERE. To find out more about what my sister and I do, feel free to visit What We Do.
Fiddle Man
by David Davis
The old man took the fiddle,
his glasses perched just right.
Trembling hands caressed the bow
and made the notes take flight.
His heart a-flutter,
as the music swept
around the border
of memories;
lovingly held close.
