Biography

Early influences

When Haynie was nine, he began taking fiddle lessons from his grandmother's cousin, a man named Ted Locke. He studied the fiddle, for two years, after which he took up the mandolin. He became exceedingly good at both, and within two years he joined a bluegrass band named the Bluegrass Parlor Band. While he was traveling, he got a chance to meet Chubby Wise, a self-styled "original" bluegrass fiddler, on many occasions. These opportunities enriched his sense of music, and were a great inspiration to him in his younger years. Another major influence on Haynie's music was that of Kenny Baker, whose fiddle albums were some of his favorites. Those familiar with Baker's fiddle style might recognize similarities in Haynie's sound.

In 1990, at age 16, attending the Florida fiddling championships, and competing, Haynie won first place in the contemporary division for the second time, playing Wild Fiddler's Rag and Skater's Waltz.[1]

In August 1996 Haynie lost two violins and a bow, when a lightning-induced fire burnt Tim Austin's Doobie Shea Studios to the ground.[2][3]

In 2004 Haynie won the fiddle category at the 39th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.[4]

Haynie has been seen appearing in informal music performances under other musicians' headlines, and earned a living as a session musician.

Awards
gollark: Smart contracts are in "Solidity", which is apparently an accursed JS-type language.
gollark: Ethereum had that fun issue where their "DAO" had a bug which allowed money to be stolen from it, so everyone just ignored "code is law" and 51%-attacked the currency to roll back the theft.
gollark: On composite video there are apparently "frame synchronization pulses".
gollark: They have sync signals too on one of the lines, I think.
gollark: I guess it might work?
