I heard that wood screen door close. That brought back memories of my youth of the kids running in and out. Even the cat could open the door and go in and out.

This is wonderful, I felt like I was hanging on the porch with them! It made me happy and sad to see two of my favorites in these forgotten days!

My Russian violin teacher would have a stroke if she saw all that resin on Tommy’s fiddle. Lol!

My great uncle Arthur Connor told me to always clean off that resin but I do like Tommy did lol

I bet you there's someone in the Russian countryside that has a fiddle looking just like Tommy's.

That rosin will mess the top on a fiddles finish. If it’s not an expensive fiddle like Tommy is playing who gives a hoot. Tommy said he paid ten dollars for that fiddle.
