And never came back, back, back Till for July, July, July My name is Jimmy Edmonds, and I live in Galax, Virginia. I've been playing the fiddle around nine years. I started when I was four. Since I can remember, there's always been music in the family. My mother plays the guitar, and my daddy plays the bass and banjo. My sister sings and dances, and the other one plays the bass.

Around every Saturday morning, we always play at an auction sale except in the winter. It's a Parsons auction company and we'll sell just about anything, personal property or land, cattle, have antiques sometimes. Sometimes the bidders start to get draggy and they don't want to spend the money and go play a few songs and then that gets them perked up in their beds now. Ten thousand, two and a half.

Now I'm gonna get five. I got ten thousand. Two and a half. Now I'm gonna get a five to five. I got ten thousand, two and a half. Now I'm gonna get five. Thank you. All right, Jim, hold it right there, boys.

Let's go. We've got $10,250. All done. All food. All satisfied now. Anywhere. Give me any more than $10,250. All satisfied. I sold it right there. Then Daddy bought me a fiddle when I was about three or four, and I've been playing ever since. I got interested when I'd go over to my grandpa's house, and while he was playing, I'd go get two sticks and rub them together like I was fiddling too. It's just a good feeling to play with your grandpa. Me and my daddy has a shed behind the house, and when we don't do nothing, we go in there and we'll work on a fiddle or a banjo or something.

I've been working on a fiddle, refinishing it, and a man gave it to me at a fiddle festival, and he said that I could have it if I ride them every four years or something like that, and it didn't look too good, so I scraped off the finish and finished it over and sanded on it, and I like it better the way it is now. Well, the first thing I ever learned to play was the fiddle, and then sometimes I'd sort of get tired of it, and I'd want to play something else, and then I'd learn how to play the call

I was five years old when I first competed in the fiddlers convention. I'd play with a lot of fiddlers around there and they'd show me how to play some songs. and I'd keep playing them until I got them down real good and then I'd play them in a fiddler's contest or something. I won about 60 or 70 ribbons and around 13 trophies. This is my favorite one because it was the hardest one to get and I had to compete against 70 other fiddlers of all ages and I won the first prize. I like to perform.

I guess I like being up on the stage and not being out on the audience just listening to them. Come on, Daisy. Let's go. Get away from that dog. Yeah, get away from that dog, Daisy. Come on. Go, go. Yeah, we can sit right over here. Get that beast away from me. He's got fleas. How dare you call my dog a beast while your dog's all muddy? Muddy? Daisy's spotless. Well, my dog can do tricks. Napoleon, roll over and play dead. I could think of much better things than that. Daisy, go fetch that Daisy. What a dog. oh well my dog can speak napoleon speak napoleon speak i said speak let's see your dog speak Daisy, any day.

Daisy, speak. It'll be a few minutes. Daisy, speak. Daisy, speak! Speak! Well, she does it every day. That's it, just this morning. You know, the funniest thing happened to me the other day on the way to the park. What? Hannibal and Willie, sent in by Ricky Reed of Cordell, Georgia. When Willie woke up that morning, he saw what he thought was a gray snake at his cave entrance. He looked out and saw that it was his big elephant friend, Hannibal. Hannibal asked Willie, Do you want to go swimming? Willie said, Of course. So they left. When they got to their favorite swimming hole, there was a hole in the side. Then Willie went into the hole in the side of the pit, but he couldn't go far because it was blocked up by some sticks. Hannibal said,

What's in there? Then Willie told Hannibal that the water stream that kept the hole filled was plugged up. Then Willie said, I can't get the sticks out of the passageway. So Hannibal said he'd try it. Then Hannibal gave one hard stomp with his foot, and that caused the water to come plowing through. After they started to swim a while, Willie asked, Hannibal, how do you know that would work? Then Hannibal said, You know that when I want something done, I always put my foot down. The End Good evening. Tonight's nautical narrative is by Paul Sergios of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Join us as we take a voyage on the Sea of Terror. The Atlantic Ocean, a sea of mysteries

A brave sea captain, Mark, was going to set out on a voyage Some of the neighbours had gone scuba diving And they never returned Their wives were worried Mrs. Deuce, do you ever think our husbands will return? Well, Mrs. Callipool, I just hope Mark and Brad can rescue them. From what? I don't know. Mark and Brad sit out in a boat. By night, the sky was all misty and foggy. Mark, do you think we'll ever find out what made the townspeaker disappear in this fog? I hope so. the next night the fog cleared and there in the middle of the water was a big dark black castle brad and mark docked their boat suddenly out of the castle came a walkway

mark and brad went in they soon found out they were in the castle of dr weaver a mad scientist are you the cause of the disappearance of the townspeople i am i put in the water an invisible poisonous red liquid that would attract them here when they got here i killed them i want to take over the hall in the east coast since you found out what i'm doing I mustn't kill you. How are you going to do that? Come, and I'll show you. Dr. Weaver put them in a giant glass tube in a room far away from the castle so that when the bomb that was attached to it blew off, it would not blow up the castle.

Dr. Weaver was clever, but the men were cleverer. Dr. Weaver put us in the same tube on top of each other. So if you stand on tippy-toe, I'll be able to press a button up here that will open the glass door and we'll be free. Brad did and Mark pressed the button. They were free. Quietly, they tiptoed up to Dr. Weaver and knocked him out. Then they took the bomb and threw it into the castle and went away in their boat. In a few minutes, the castle blew up in smoke. When Mark and Brad got home, they were awarded a medal of courage and they all lived happily ever after. Why don't you write a play yourself and send it to Zoom?
