Playing the fiddle is not an
uncommon talent but Bob
Hodgins, of Burnaby, British
Columbia, believes in making a
fiddle tune interesting.
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.
