An interview with "The Saw Lady" →[More:]Who goes to my church, which is hosting the 6th Annual Musical Saw Festival on Saturday. You ain't seen nothing until you've seen a musical saw.

"You are not meant to be a dancer, you are meant to be a saw player!"

Seeing people transform from one kind of genius to another based on sheer fate is one of my favorite kinds of human story. Thanks for this.

Wow, who knew that there was a festival for musical saw "music"....

We used to go to the state fair and enjoy the old-timey jug band and saw music events. But, I don't think I could appreciate a whole festival of saw music!

(It's still an amazing talent...)

I have never found a saw that is flexible enough for me to get a consistent sound out of.

I have a couple reject bows, and have tried several saws, but, no deal, since you need to get a double bend in them.

I keep looking at garage sales for a nice floppy one. I would love to be able to do that.

You should e-mail Natalia, danf! She could probably reccommend a good model.

I appreciate it in theory. In actuality, I'm not sure if I can sit through an hour of it- it's quite a sound.
