I'm Carl Friedman. I've been fiddling for about 30 years; then I fell in love with the Irish flute about eight years ago.

I'm the fiddler for Mortal Wombat, which also includes regular Open Bander Robin Wilson, and occasional OB'ers Michael Friedman and Ralph Barthine. I get to play both fiddle and Irish flute in Rocket Surgery, with OB'ers Andrew Marcus and Ralph Barthine.

I also fiddle for Charm City Rapper, a rapper-sword and step-dance team from Baltimore. I have been on the Board of the Baltimore Folk Music Society for about 20 years, currently serving as American Dance Chair
