Tremendous loss a few days ago. She should have gotten far more coverage and respect from the media.

I'd be very careful attacking luthiers and fiddlers. 🎻 🎻 🎻 The woman was an absolute legend and a national treasure.

I believe it was natural causes.

I have no issues with Lutherans.
Never heard of her. Did she like to eat manatee?

Don't fiddle around with manatees.
She was the "Stradivarius of the Ozarks". Stop disparaging her. I'm very surprised she didn't have a guest appearance on Ozark.

She's not gonna see this (she's dead)

No one used to die from natural causes before vaccines came along.

She had
plenty of time to be offered a guest appearance on Ozarks. She was 109 years old. Lutherans are long-lived people. I'm going to become a Lutheran so I live long enough to see Marquette win another natty.

Isn't like being the best midget basketball player?

Good point. I mean...a
real Stradivarius went for 11.25 million in an auction last year.
Muggsy, how much have her fiddles brought at auction?

Doubtful, she'd still be a live if she did.

They have ATVs, mostly

I've hated Arkansas ever since they backed down on segregation

Her fiddles are very well crafted and prize possessions. She was extremely skilled, well into her 100's.
I have been to 49 states. The only one missing is Arkansas. And yes, I plan to go next year.
If my list was still missing 12 states or something, I wouldn't bother. But when you've been to 49, you at least have to have lunch in #50, right?
There must be something worth seeing in Arkansas.
Hot springs.

It doesn't have a ton of appeal for me, living wise, but to the person, everyone I know who has lived for any period of time in NW Arkansas in the Fayetteville/Bentonville metro has raved about it. Natural beauty, quality of life, etc... And this encompasses people originally from California, the tri State, DC, upstate New York, and Chicagoland.

Eureka Springs is the place to go. It's in the northwest corner of the state probably 50 miles east of Bentonville.
An old hippie haven. And if you own any kind of a drum, bring it with. You won't regret it.

This is what I have heard also. Lots of natural beauty, recreation.

Senior year of Marquette, a bunch of friends rented a van and drove to South Padre Island for spring break. We stopped in Arkansas to fill up the gas tank. Some guy at the station filling up his tank saw the Wisconsin plate and informed us "You boys picked a good time to come to Arkansas, it's crappie season." (Referring to croppie fish.)

Having been there, I wouldn't say you're "missing" anything.
