CARL RAPP - Fiddle
Carl Rapp has been playing the fiddle [aka the violin] since he was about eight years old, when the principal cellist of the Atlanta Symphony was also teaching string players in the Atlanta Public Schools. In college, he played classical music with the Emory Chamber Orchestra, and since the early 1980s he has played continuously with the Athens Symphony. In 2002, with great fear and trepidation, he accepted a most gracious invitation to join an Irish music group called *Banish Misfortune* (now sadly defunct). Being unable to quench his enthusiasm for all forms of Celtic music, he now plays it at every opportunity with his two new groups: Collateral Relations, and Green Flag.
