Wow, Jocelyn’s response to my video was awesome! She really spotted the exact things I need to work on! Such a great service for Fiddlehed students. I highly recommend posting your own videos cause Joecelyn knows her stuff!!

Welcome to Fiddlehed. It’s a great place to learn. I live in the deep south and have also heard this tune all my life. Family sing alongs.
Thanks for you kind words.
