JUST FIDDLIN' AROUND IN WEISER

  A day in the life of David Lin
a competitor in the Small Fry Rounds (ages 5 - 8) at the Weiser, Idaho National Oldtime Fiddlers Festival.
~~~~~~~~~~
This is David's Lilliputian violin.
In the third week of June in Weiser, ID though, it becomes a FIDDLE!
David just turned five and is the youngest of four boys in the Lin family, from Kentucky, all accomplished fiddlers, who come to Weiser to compete.  This is David's first competition.
 ~~~~~~~~~~
PRACTICE-CONCENTRATE-PRACTICE!

TAKE A BREAK
PLAY WITH PLAYFUL DOG!
COMPETE (with not one, but TWO accompanists) at his service
 The audience could view
DAVID ON THE OVERHEAD, ALMOST SWALLOWED WHOLE
BY HIS LUCKY BLACK CLINT BLACK HAT
 "I DID GOOD, DIDN'T I?" 
HANG OUT WITH BROTHER AFTERWARDS
CRASH IN DAD'S LAP!
At Tuesday night's ceremonies, David received special recognition and a prize for the YOUNGEST festival contestant.
WELL DONE, DAVID!
