Howard Marshall, left, and Kathy Gordon, center, watch Ron Ray start off a song during a midday performance at the Cherry Street Artisan, while Tim Walker, a Missouri graduate student, studies. Marshall grew up around fiddle music and enjoys the social element of playing. "Some music is hard to approach; it keeps its arms crossed," Howard said. "Old-time fiddle music has its arms wide open, saying 'Come on and play.'" The group, called Doc Howard's Fiddle Band, plays frequently at the Artisan, along with other engagements in mid-Missouri, including the upcoming Art in the Park.
