Doug Cooper – Starter Fiddles

We talk a lot here about what folks have decided to do when they retire. Some have thought about it a long time. Others, like the man you’re going to meet now, didn’t decide what he’d do until just a couple of years ago. We go now to the fiddling capital of Tennessee with Tennessee Crossroads, where a former industry worker makes fiddles for beginners. Join Nashville Public Television’s Tennessee Crossroads to find out more about Doug Cooper – Starter Fiddles.

We talk a lot here about what folks have decided to do when they retire. Some have thought about it a long time. Others, like the man you're going to meet now, didn't decide what he'd do until just a couple of years ago. We go now to the fiddling capital of Tennessee with Tressa Bush, where a former industry worker makes fiddles for beginners.

Tressa Bush has been a part of the Crossroads family since 2007. Born and raised in Smith County, Tressa continues to live there today but finds that with each new story she learns something new about Tennessee.  A former Miss Nashville, Tressa also participated in the Miss Tennessee USA (a preliminary to the Miss USA/Miss Universe competition).
