Anyway I switched into folk, scottish and american although I enjoy the american folk music a bit more since it tends to be a bit more swingy.

I have friends in the folk scene in Edinburgh and play with them every now and then in pubs, it's a lot of fun.

Violins rock... LOL though I have learned that if you dont use it, you loose it. I would need alot of work to be as good as I use to be (since I havent played much in the past 6 years). I do see what you mean by "backstabby" lol! Though I will admit it was a great outlet for me.
