Fiddle Ronnie
is the
Mystery Man of Eastwind Bluegrass Band…what you see here is
only a small portion of his story, so catch him at a show if you want
to hear more. He was born in Pontiac, Michigan, the
latest addition to several generations of coal miners.
His mother moved the family to the Chattahoochee Valley area
of Alabama when Ronnie was 4 yrs old and by the time he turned 11, he'd
taken up guitar and |

By his early 20's,
Ronnie had developed determination to get back into fiddling,
but couldn't afford a fiddle at the time.
His solution was to buy a piece of wood at a time over a year
or so, until he had enough to build one….enjoying the
process so much that he continues to build instruments.
To date, he's finished and sold 4 mandolins and 3 fiddles,
with more under construction. Keep an eye on this
page for more details about Ronnie's instruments! |
