This is pretty amazing. Ever heard of a 5 string fiddle? Me neither.

(disclaimer: I'm not the musician!) I knew this young man when he was just a toddler running around getting into stuff. I guess in a manner of speaking he still is. His dad is a cardiologist and when he had child care duty would sometimes bring the 3 boys with him if he got called in. This one was the youngest and a little stinker but really cute. All 3 were really smart but he's a genius of a different kind.

Can't find it now, or I'd share it. It was really amazing. A family sitting around the dining room table, each with their instrument including guitar, mandolin, 5-string fiddle, and a couple others I don't recall.
