Yee Haw!

Well, despite overwhelming nerves earlier, I survived my first fiddle contest experience...and...I won. Woohoo!

I got a nice cash prize and a certificate for a very expensive cowboy hat. Sweet.

It was a tie for first place btw me and this guy - and we had to have a showdown...and despite playing the violin for 30 years, I couldn't think of anything to play, so I played one of my songs again..Whatever...I won. Woohoo!

Then, they made me go out on the stage in the square in the middle of everything and play a song and be acknowledged...etc...

And while prior to winning, I realized that I had in fact enjoyed myself and the experience, and had not died over it...I have to say it was pretty awesome to win :)

Yippee!
