“30 years of fiddling~Hillar Bergman…fiddler” is a short biographical slideshow. Included are some of the instruments and odd vehicles (even a Honda trail 90 motorbike) that I have used going to various festivals, historical re-enactments, and the like. You will see some unusual things, such as an elephant standing up next to my school bus motorhome, a world-famous acrobat balancing my fiddle upon his nose, a miniature fiddle being played in a hookah bar in Montreal, a small motorhome shaped like a loaf of bread, fiddling at a wedding performed at a Civil War re-enactment, fiddling in a farmhouse in Estonia with two accordion players and much more. The wooden ship is the Nina, a hand-built replica of Columbus’ ship, which was used in the movie “1492″. I played the fiddle on board when she was visiting Traverse City on her way to Brazil.
The accompanying audio is “Allons a Lafayette”, a cajun tune which I recorded and also added guitar to. Hope you enjoy this.

In late ’80s, as demands for his work increased, he decided to devote himself full-time to the business of stringed instruments and established a full service shop in Martinsville.
