Nice! I think people notice what they themselves struggle with. Your bow angle is perfect throughout!

Marg, Star Wars Day has become quite a big thing in the UK so I can’t claim the joke! Though it makes me laugh every year!

Thank you for watching our concert, Marg. We have started live concerts here in Long Beach, Wa. We have 2 performances coming up in June. I just finished directing and acting in our local communist theater musical which ran 3 weekends. We had to shut down 2 years ago, 3 days before we were to open. So nice to be back to live entertainment in…[Read more]

Rita, I finished watching your band’s concert video. So polished, you must all have worked very hard to put that together. Beautiful vocal harmonies, what a great thing to be able to sing so well. I think that would be very helpful for audiation as a fiddle player.
I hope the Oyster Crackers will soon be able to do live gigs again, I’m not sure of…[Read more]

Thanks for your kind comments Michael.

That’s a nice bit of fun Joanne and I like the joke…May the 4th be with you. Very good. 🙂

The first link didn’t work, but the Dropbox did. Well done, Diane, it’s a beautiful song and you paced it really well. It looks like you’ve learnt it by memory – very good, as I find it a tricky one to remember. Thanks for posting.

That was exquisite, Jocelyn! Really beautiful playing – I didn’t notice any dodgy notes – I don’t know the song but it sounded very good to me. Thanks for sharing. I’d like to learn that one myself. It might be fun for our marimba group (who can only play in C)

Well played Michael! This has great rhythm & musicality.

That’s true it’s a bit of a sci-fi fiddle! It’s a Wood Stingray Pro with a gorgeous custom paint job! For all that it has a nice true acoustic sound also.

Your timing is right on! Sounds very good to me.

That was fun!

Nice tune and well played, Joanne. Love your colorful violin!

That’s awesome, Joanne. I especially like that you played it on an instrument that would have been perfectly at home in the movie….

Thanks for your feedback Carolyn~ I will see if I can make the audio more easily accessible 🙂

I love the Breton Gavotte, and you are playing it really well. I haven’t worked on the octave lower version – or the embellishments you’ve added. You’ve inspired me. And your Swallowtail Jig is really excellent. Great job!
