Dave Reiner dsreiner@rcn.com
I play and teach fiddle and mandolin - bluegrass, oldtime, Irish - in Lexington, MA.  I've written several fiddle instruction books for Mel Bay Publications, and have won a lot of fiddle contests, including the Wisconsin state championship twice.  I teach one or two days per month, and really enjoy it.
My family band, which plays a lot of traditional styles, is the Reiner Family Band.  I also play with a pure bluegrass band called Granite Grass.
There's more info on lessons and my family band at my website,  www.reinerfamilyband.com     December 2006
