Before I was diagnosed for Parkinsonism I was fiddling Old-timey music. Now, I'm still trying to fiddle Old-timey Music with less sustained effect. Used to play for 2-3 hours, now I gratified that I can sometimes play 20-30 minutes, so I leave my fiddles out and when the mood strikes I pick up the fiddle and crank out some tunes until rigidity sets in. I used to be discouraged but Now I'm happy to be able to have that much time. I'm also glad I have great friends(musical tune-givers) who will play tunes with me. Positive thinking, always keep trying and the music has good a effect on me. Even at a music party I can just sit and listen to the music. As we say at a jam late in the evening, "One more tune".
