Born in Clover Bar, Alberta, in 1902, Bob began playing the fiddle when he was six years old and has become one of the rare fid- dlers who play and sing at the same time. "You've got to have a three track mind to do that", says Bob. "One part has to be on the fiddle playing, one part on the singing, and another part has to be telling the brain what to do a second before you do it." Opening the August 5 and 6 fiddle contest in Shelburne was the event which has brought Bob to Ontario this summer. The son of Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Hodgins, formerly of Lucan, is currently staying on Harvey Hodgins farm, R.R. 2 Ailsa Craig. Bob's father gave him a fiddle in 1907 and a year later Bob began playing what he calls "country fiddling". Bob calls square dances and fiddles at the same time but he will only play for a hobby. "I don't play for business", says Bob. "I just play for a hobby at senior citizens homes and things like that". Although Bob plays only when he feels like it, the talk becomes more serious when the subject is his favourite instrument. Bob owns a fiddle made in 1719 by Andreas Guarnerius and he "wouldn't trade it for any fiddle in Canada". The fiddlehead is a carved bust of Michaelangelo which has drawn the attention of fiddle greats such as Ned Landers and Al Cherny, says Bob. The fiddle came into his hands "when it didn't look like it was worth fifty cents" but Bob straightened out the fingerboard, fixed the tuning keys, and 'refinished the fiddle's body. Bob currently has the fiddle insured for $17,000 and claims the instrument would be priceless to replace. Bob's other hobbies include metal work and, in particular, making weather vanes, Bob estimates that 100 weathervanes, selling for approximately $350 each, have passed out of his shop. Bob's wife, Ruby, designs the top of the vane and Bob does all of the metal work. "If you had to hire a welder to make it you couldn't do it for that price", he says. Bob has sold weathervanes to Bobby Hull, Frank Baker's Night Club, Vancouver, and one of his weatherva nes stands on the home of Harvey Hodgins. The vane on Baker's night club stands 14 feet high, said Bob. Bob made the horse on top of the Hodgin's weathervane from 14-gauge metal and cut it with a cutting torch, Bob's metal working hobby is not anything new for him,. however, since Bob originally owned his own auto metal shop in Vancouver. Bob rented the shop in 1959 and retired from the business to rebuild cranes and dredges. Bob says he could still do the work now but "what's the use"? Bob plans to fly back to Bur- naby within the next few days and Mona Hodgins, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Harvey Hodgins will be returning with him to stay in British Columbia several weeks. Resort OPP report activity In this week's press release, Sgt. C. W, Boom, commander of the Ontario Provincial Police detachment at Grand Bend reminds boaters of their responsibility in case of an ac- cident on the water.
