The Purple Fiddle is fabulous folksy fun. Located in Thomas, West Virginia, the Purple Fiddle is a center of musical artistry and family dining. The establishment serves unique meals. I had the Green thumbs wrap, which had a layer of humus, cucumber, shredded carrots, and greens. It was quite yummy. Bethany had a peanut butter and jelly wrap. Brian had a roast beef sandwich. Beverages were of interest too. I had apple cider, and Bethany had a Chai Latte. The atmosphere was old general store in appearance. The tables were a collection of anything and everything from the last one hundred years of furniture manufacturing with a wide assortment of chairs and stools. There were some church pews and old movie theater seats too. Little children gathered for the show on the church pew, and wrapped themselves in grandma made afghans, eating homemade ice cream in sugar cones.
The Purple Fiddle hosts a different band every weekend evening. The Matthew Lambert band was there the evening we went. The first part of the show was Matthew playing by himself, and
Bethany really enjoyed it. The second a half of the show the whole band played including drums, bass, guitars, harmonica, and a mandolin. Bethany was getting tired, and the volume of music overwhelmed her a bit. We stayed for a whole hour, which was amazing to me that she was interested for that long. My favorite song of the whole evening was one Matthew had written about being single in Tucker County, called "City Girl come visit me in the Country." We really had a nice time. We definitely plan a return visit in the future. We left the Purple Fiddle, and returned to the lodge. Bethany went to bed right away because the Easter Bunny was going to come. She wanted to sleep in her clothes. I let her. :)
