0 seconds ago This was spectacular to watch & listen to. I love most natural scenery but the cuts done in the Badlands & the Black Hills of South Dakota took me back to a place I dream of to this day. I stood in some of those spots exactly where you played. Thanks for the trip down memory lane to some great tunes.
planning a long solo hike in the Italian apennines next year and I want to take the fiddle along (of course). Any tips for carrying it, plus all the usual stuff (tent sleeping bag etc.)?? Beautiful playing by the way :)
That's awesome! It's tough, I have tried this once and I wasn't the only person, so the camping gear got split between people. I have tried different ways of doing it, making the straps really long and putting the fiddle on over the top of my backpack, or having one long strap and one short one, having it to the side and sort of weaving the straps through my backpack straps (used to do this all the time when cycling with a backpack and fiddle.) I've also thought about just taking a really cheap fiddle and super cheap lightweight case, to cut back on weight. You could possibly strap it longways along the bottom of your backpack, like where some folks would put their sleeping pad!
The road is the old road that went to the National Park, 135 miles of dirt road!! Totally gorgeous and really forces you to slow down and take it all in!
