i'm sarah cardin, and my permanent home is in portland, oregon in the northwestern usa. when i'm not playing tunes, i'm writing those awful computer manuals that you toss away without bothering to read them ...
i'm in my sixth year of grappling with the fiddle. sadly, the fiddle is usually the winner these days. oh well -- i didn't expect it would be easy when i put myself in thrall to the devil's instrument ...
i also play anglo concertina, but that instrument has been sadly neglected since i found the fiddle. people keep telling me my concertina playing is really nice, so maybe i should practice ...
if you want to see what i do with that part of my spare time when i'm not practicing, i'm part of the group weblog, pacific views, which is at http://www.pacificviews.org. my own blog is at http://magpieblog.blogspot.com, but it's mostly neglected these days.
