This is our 90th episode! and we thought we would try something different. Every five years or so over the course of nearly forty years I have written an original short story inspired by the supernatural mythology and folklore of the violin. I am happy to now announce that we have produced a unique audio collection of ten of these stories that we titled The Phantom Fiddler and Other Notable Tales. Each tales features a different reader(s) and musician(s).

And here's the best part: the only way to access and enjoy this collection of stories is to make a donation to the Rosin the Bow project. You decide how much, but realize that we very much need your financial help if we hope to produce more podcast episodes, drawing upon the over fifty in-depth interviews that are already part of our archive, not to mention traveling out to record new interviews with musicians, luthiers, violin shop owners, historians, etc.

You can do this by visiting our web site www(dot)rosinthebow(dot)org

Then just tap the donate button and let us know that you want us to send you the link where you can stream and/or download the audio collection. It's that simple and I'm sure you'll enjoy the tales.

And to give you sample, here is one of those stories. It is titled "Say Old Man, Can You Play the Fiddle?" and was written by Joe McHugh and is read by North Carolina folksinger Joe Newberry, with music by fiddler Darol Anger. As with all our podcast episodes, it is our gift to you!
