The Man Who Brought The Fiddle To Rock Music

KVCR | By David Fleming

Published March 11, 2015 at 11:19 AM PDT

When you think rock music, the violin is not the first instrument you might consider essential to a rock band. However, we’re going to meet a rock violinist who's contributed signature sounds to bands such as Kansas, Smashing Pumpkins... and Queensryche. Rock fiddler David Ragsdale talks with KVCR’s David Fleming, in this excerpt from tonight's edition of 'KVCaRts,' which airs this evening at 7 on 91.9 KVCR.
