Thank you. Glad you like it.

Thank you. I had shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago, so my fiddling has been very limited. Slow and steady!

[Rita]

Well done, Joanne! That is certainly a toe tapper.

[Rita]

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

[Rita]

Well done. That is not an easy tune to learn.

[Rita]

Well done! Thanks for sharing. It is so good to be able to record and share our progress with a wonderful, encouraging group!

[Rita]

I’ve been playing for about 6 years. Playing in our band has given me a lot of confidence. I really like posting here, it’s another way to practice with an “audience”. Thank you!

[Rita]

Well done, Sally! It is scary to record yourself, but it is such good practice. I love that song.

[Rita]

Love listening to you play. Also enjoy learning from you!

[Rita]

Lovely…love how you did all the eighth notes so smoothly!

[Rita]

Hi again, Kate….Finally got the video to download and I got it up on Fiddlehed’s student video shares! Thanks.

[Rita]

Thank you. I enjoy writing music. Not too good at adding lyrics, so I stick to tunes, mostly waltzes, but have done a few others along with some songs with lyrics. Retirement is great!

[Rita]

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 our little community!

[Rita]

Oh, my Kate! I am impressed with how you have learned to do back up with garage band and now strum machine, which I have no idea what it is or how to use it. Our little music on line community is so great!

[Rita]

Good morning Marge, I am out of town, but can certainly send you a recording of the song by the Oyster Crackers. We have a CD and it is all original songs written by myself and Bette Lu Krause (one of the guitarists in our band). We also did a live stream concert during COVID at the Columbia Theatre in Longview, WA. It is on YouTube, and we did do Ukiah Ranch Waltz there.
