10 years ago, Jane and I were having dinner at Conkling's Marina on the South end of Lake Coeur d'Alene. Sitting at a table next to us, was a family with these two cute little guy twins. They got out their fiddles and performed a tune or two for their family and friends. While they were playing, I secretly put one American dollar in each violin case as a tip! It was at that moment, that they discovered that they could make money performing! I would like to take complete credit for launching their stellar music careers! Both Rye and Cash are performing with their dad, Keith Niehenke, this Friday night at our Elks lodge for our Hoe-down night! They have competed and won multiple regional and national fiddle awards!
