I think that such a funny way to hold up the fiddle, is the only way that allows the performer to talk and sing simultaneously. I'm from South America but I became a passionate of Bluegrass Country Music. In my research I learned about the origins of the Bluegrass. I also discovered the adorable singer/fiddler, Mrs. Alison Krauss. I noticed that she never sings and plays the fiddle at the same time. That's because she holds the fiddle in the "correct" way!

Anybody who plays fiddle knows how difficult it is to sing along while playing. A bit easier if one fiddles portions of the chords, but to sing while sawing away at a melody like this is quite impressive. Five stars.
