A half dozen years ago before I moved to the Villages I rented a place and made nightly trips to the square. I recall a group that had a female that played a violin. I do not recall if she played another instrument or not. Can you tell me the name of the group and is it still appearing in the squares?

Don't know if this is the band you are talking about but the Doc Holiday Band plays in The Villages---Jessie Daumen plays with them when she doesn't have another gig. They play a mixture of music bluegrass/country, etc. She is an awesome fiddle player---started playing the violin at age 5 and has won State Championships. We love this band---always see them when they are here. They will be at Spanish Springs Square on June 10--and I checked Jessie's schedule on her web page and she is supposed to be there as well.

If you are talking about the Jessie Daumen that plays with the Hindu Cowboys (when she is not doing solo gigs) ..... she flat kills it on fiddle!!

Yes I did go. Thank you for suggesting the event. The group is good but I would like to hear her play with a group where she is more the lead artiest. My favorite violinist is Karen Briggs who played with Yanni.
