Across from countryside to spread their appreciation for traditional arts. the Library Wheatland music has frequently aired on the PBS series, Our Front Porch. They are a 501(3)c non-profit (231) corporation, which survives on memberships, donations, 448-2881 and a few grants. On their farm they have several stages, including one for dance (which might be a cajun dance, or square or contra dancing–contra features long lines of step dancing), offices, and a bunk house. It was at Wheatland that Bruce met Dick Tarrier, whose expertise inspired him to move from guitar to fiddle and become adept enough at it to become a fiddle teacher.
