Hey Lisa; any fiddlers at YOUR house?

Yep, in addition to being my encouraging bike friend and a dozen other things, my husband is a WONDERFUL fiddler. I play banjo and mountain dulcimer. We both play "oldtime" music. Some mp3 samples of us playing together are here: http://harmonias.com/BrianLisaMusic.html

Does someone fiddle at YOUR house, Mimi?

ever since hearing The Devil Went down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band

Yes, Lisa, Raleighdon is a fiddler (or was until he fell on his bike about 2 years ago and his handnever healed) I played standup bass in an oldtime squaredance band until about a year ago; and our 25 year old son is a fiddler in a country/rock band.
(our other son plays only Jazz and Classical stuff on his french horn)
cool!

And I played baritone ukulele in an all girl pirate band, until I moved away. I still can play the ukulele, but cycling is my most time consuming hobby.

Hey Mimi- another interesting coincidence, I played stand up string bass as a teenager (seriously enough to play with greater boston youth symphony orchestra) but stopped after a women fell on my bass and destroyed it at the end of high school. In terms of mags, a favorite that no one has mentioned is velo news, I like it cuz it covers womens prof. cycling as well as men's pretty well, but after this season's doping scandals my interest in pro cycling is dwindling...... I also get the free bicycling mag sub., and some professional journals (cell, science and nature). -e

Ok...that sounds like a story I'd like to hear more of! (if you don't mind sharing, that is)

Sounds like there's a lot of musicians here! I've played flute for 27 years.

Edited to add magazines (and to apologize for contributing to the threat drift!):
Readers Digest
Bicycling
Ensign (our church magazine)
NRA
National Geographic for Kids (DD calls this the "movie advertizing magazine")
