I was inspired by my cousin from Nova Scotia, but I have a lot of friends who were inspired and they wanted to have a little bit more freedom from classical music for which you have to do exactly what's on the page. In fiddling there is a lot of improvisation. They wanted a little bit more freedom in how they played music. The competition stream is also pretty fun. It's just a competition to showcase your talent.
