Milestone 90th birthday for lifelong fiddler Ed Schweigert
Saskatchewan born musician Ed Schweigert turns 90 today. He started fiddle at five, played dances with brothers, and earned a $1 per gig. He built a left foot mechanism to change guitar chords, learned to play multiple instruments, repaired and rebuilt fiddles, and later crafted his own instruments in a basement workshop. He served in the army, trained as a motor mechanic, and now entertains seniors in retirement homes while still keeping a live music legacy renewed.
