How old is too old to learn a bowed instrument?

I pick up instruments pretty quick in general... learned tenor (viola) guitar this year, blow a passable bugle, translated recorder skills to the tin whistle... I can carry a tune on the bucket bass

Been thinking of taking up the fiddle lately.

After 45 years of playing the guitar over my right leg I switched to left leg for a day, like a classical guitar player, and I am sold. My wrist feels better, which I hoped for.

But what I didn't expect was how much better my *breathing* is in this position. It's made my singing much stronger and more expressive.

"I don't have a Spotify" is the new "I don't have a TV."

(...I don't have a TV either...)

Well, here goes nothin I guess. Uploaded my tiny-desk concert contest entry.

Me, every time I boost a cute animal picture, graphic art that touches me somehow, or a dad joke that pops me out of a doom scroll:

So, it's Bandcamp Friday again this week (woop!) and I'm saving up to pay for studio time this coming January.

"Jennifer Wood writes satisfying and insightful lyrics with arrangements deeply rooted in the folk and Americana lexicon."

Where did Geordie and Rho poop when they were out of phase?

Edit: I figured it out! They leaned against the hill and hung their butts out into space!
