Hello , David Hakala here (aka : Davey ) . Olympia WA is where I live . I've been playing Irish fiddle ever since I heard and met Dale Russ here back in 1981 . Around this same time I heard the Chieftans on Saturday Night Live : their version of , The Morning Dew , was a life changing moment . Ironically , The Chieftans are one of my least favorite groups . My favorite teacher has been Brian Conway . Though I do enjoy the very accomplished ," trad. players on steroids" , I am drawn more to traditional ; knowing the roots of your musical style is important . If you are in Olympia , drop me a line . David
