Hey, Mark. I've been playing fiddle since 1976, have a love of all the old recordings, andI've played with and heard lots of musicians all over. For my tastes, you are the best old time fiddler playing today. Thanks for the great tunes on the internet, and for handing this music on to younger people. Chris Chapin
@Wafaloo I use my nails to fret the strings on the fretless banjo, so they can't be too short. I have to compromise and sometimes they do get too long and I have to clip them in the middle of a session!
Chris, thanks very much! Hopefully I can get some more up when I'm a little more freed up and I iron out some tech problems.

Your fingernails look rather longer than I imagine would make for comfortable playing...

@CamFamBand Aha! I was going to say... I know I have to file mine down to nubs in order to play.

@Wafaloo Ah yes, So playing the tune "Nubbin Ridge" should come naturally to you!

Great Video Mark, Thank you. Are you referring to GDAE as open G?
I'd love to see some more Lundy tunes from this camera angle, specifically Flatwoods. Happy Holidays!

At last--the perfect camera angle to see what's going on with both hands! Thanks.
