The official e-newsletter of The Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Association (CGMFA-ACGMV)
Likely many of you remember this newsletter and how fun it was to receive a copy in the mail. Fiddlers, you might also recall how exciting it was to be featured in the newsletter!
This historic newsletter was first launched in June 1993 and we are now excited to launch an updated version of "The Canadian Fiddler" as an e-newsletter.
