I think that it is great, that you can win this Beaver Creek Guitar at the Fiddelfest. I have one myself and I love it. It’s a great guitar to start with. It’s one of my 4 guitars but my favourite! It also has a pickup in it so you can plug it into an amp.
From Evan Golden Hammers Rock on!

Hi Amanda!
Wow, that is wonderful! Its very clean and rhythmic. I hope you win! Good job!
That is a song you can have a lot of fun with while you are making the whistles,
you can play the ’snake dance’ on the A string, which always gets a laugh and
you can momentary bow the G string, which makes a lower pitched whistle
and say \Here comes a Diesel!\. That was a good sound of brakes, by the
way!
My teacher from the Augusta Festival has a good set of videos on You Tube. Just
put in his name \Buddy Spicher\ and you can find him teaching Orange Blossom Special and some of how he does it.
Good luck!
