    That was some fiddle extravaganza last evening. What a moment for the fiddle--to be featured in a complete segment of the opening ceremonies; must have been a 'first' for the fiddle!

    Compelled me to get my fiddle back out last night..

    Is this up on the Youtubes somewhere? I didn't get to see the opening ceremonies and would like to see it.

    Yeah, rap + fiddle tune stylings didn't work too well for me. You have rhythm competing with melody there, not sure that works too hot...
