    Hey Tom, nice job. I like that mournful “droning lonesome sound” you evoke with your laments and the Raagini. It’s like a trip to the Isles. Love the photos! I’m sure it took some effort to put that together. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Carolyn! I never knew there were words to the tune & an alternative title. I’ll look it up.

    Hi fiddle group. There is so much to get right in order to sound good isn’t there? I found a luthier to set up my violin correctly and that has made a huge difference. How are you getting on?

    Nice! That is a tricky little tune. (AKA “Who’s Been Here Since I’ve Been Gone?” as the soldier returns to his pregnant wife)

    I recorded with my iMac Quicktime app. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before, it was much easier than fiddling with a camera or device. Not much new, just a bit faster. I played 3x through, trying to build up stamina. When I play for reals with other people, the tune may last a long time, not just a few times through.

    Thanks Joanne. I love those old slow songs. Lots of fun.

    And I look like I’m reading the music, but I’m not. Just focused on the music in my head.

    Trying my best to do about one a day! Thankfully I remembered to have them give my Covid shot in the left arm, since it doesn’t have to move as much as the right arm!
    Frustrating to have to match up the videos on iMovie, since I can’t find any really fine controls. But good enough for this purpose.

    I fired up my Raagini drone in D Major this afternoon, and it goes great with four Scottish/Irish laments on this rainy April day in Covid Times, reminding me of bagpipes. It’s either depressing or uplifting, depending on your point of view.

    I hoped to add some interest by using some photos from Ireland/Scotland trips we took in the past few…[Read more]

    You can see that I don’t try to “fix the video up.” If I messed around trying to make it look nice, then I would never get it up there. Since I have my regular YouTube channel I share a lot of stuff on, I don’t particularly want these practice blurbs thrown in the mix, so I use another account to post them.

    Great job Carolyn!

    You have encouraged me to try this myself. Thanks for sharing.

    Can anyone tell me where the link is to the student hang out? I’ve looked throughout the community tab and can’t find it. Also I joined the beginner group and tried to respond to a comment but that Page doesn’t seem to be working.

    This is Day 8 and so far the only video I dare to share! I started at 80bpm and this has increased to 108bpm (for some reason my metronome increases by 4bpm!) I’ve been slowing the different segments of the tune in order to be able to play them faster when put back together as Jason suggests.
