His grandfather (Pepere) is legally blind and is a fantastic fiddler! Every year, he looks forward to attending the fiddler's picnic where everyone brings a dish and the fiddlers play and sing and have a good time. They rent out a pavillion in a beautiful park in Mixville.Here is a pic of Richard with his Aunt Julie and of course Benny in between them .
Here is Aunt Edie sitting in between Richard's parents and enjoying the show! She bought some raffle tickets, and gave Savannah a couple. Savannah ended up with the winning ticket and brought home some Connecticut Maple Syrup! It was delicious!
Here is a short clip of Pepere playing the fiddle. I'm not sure of the name of the song but it was a crowd pleaser!
Not only does he play the fiddle, but he likes to mix it up a little with the accordion! Here he is playing along side a guitarist.
You may notice that there aren't pictures of Savannah in the post, she was too busy picking up rocks and collecting these from the pond nearby! Mmmm Escargot la fresca :) (just kidding)
