Have you ever won a golden fiddle from the devil down in Georgia?

Once. Contrary to popular belief, he is not a good fiddlist. But hot damn can he plink a tune on a piano.

How much monetary value does a golden fiddle have, I wonder?
Garren Jacobsen

Is the fiddle hollow?

"The value of a golden fiddle is computed as follows:
A violin has a volume of approximately 2,408 cm3, including 2,300.4 cm3 in the body and 107.8 cm3 in the neck. We excluded the bow, strings and bridge from our analysis. Gold has a density of 19.3 grams/cm3, which means a golden fiddle weighs 46.47 kg, or 105 pounds (1,685 troy oz.). The financial impact of rosin was negligible.
The market price of gold (as of March 27, 2014) is $1,313.00/oz. , so 1,685 oz. of gold is $2,212,752.32."

Not sure. All I know is that the fiddle is apparently worth a human soul, but I'm not sure how much a soul is worth in US dollars.

Hot damn! Time to learn to play the fiddle, summon the devil, and challenge him to a duel!

No. It is worth the soul of that person. You can sell a home for a peppercorn if you wanted, but the home isn't worth a peppercorn objectively. A human soul is worth at least two golden fiddles.

My son keeps asking me to play songs that are about super random little boy things like king fu and pirates. I’m pretty certain it’s a competition at this point. I’m winning.

And I found out, that you can get rosin that has gold flecks in it. It makes the bow hairs sparkle - don't know what it does to the sound.

Hi Everybody,
Just realised its been almost a year since I posted anything. I know I'm the 'strong, silent type', but that's pushing it. Still, it's been a very busy 12 months, but worth it, as the future is looking brighter and a whole lot calmer. Fingers crossed I get to focus on myself for once and get writing. I have a lot of new learning to apply to my outline, mostly from K.M. Weiland's website, and another site that actually explains dramatica theory in a way that a human being can process. I'll post it here for those that are interested.
Bye Everybody.

You are not calculating the empty sllace in the body, forget about the porosity of the wood.
If anyone happens to be writing in a setting with near-unearthly levels of rainfall, here's an interesting piece of clothing I stumbled upon. It's a knup and it is used in the Meghalaya state of India.

Has anyone else been to the website Shorpy?
I think it's amazing and for a non-US resident a great resource for what America looked like back-in-the-day.

so something has happened??? when i was 15, i was both the person i was when i was 12 and the person i am now in part. but now i am not the person i was when i was 12 though still partly the person i was when i was 15
idk i just had this massive epiphany earlier about how I can't really access 12 year old me anymore, like for a while i was both the present me and the past me, but now the past me is very foreign and i read my writings from that time as entirely from the outside and not at all partly from inside.
It freaks me out.

Happens. It gets worse (but also better).
And to add to the horror, all the cells in your body replace themselves every 7 years. You're a walking ship of Theseus.

I feel i would love to start something like...themed brainstorm threads. So, one that's just a massive supply of prompts, one that's for settings, one that's for characters, that anyone can add to or elaborate on...
Idk, sometimes i want to talk about ideas for ideas' sake, not as part of a story, but as something that could become a story.
