Very nice, Ann. Clear notes and as Joanne says, a nice swing to it.

Agreed, that was a great creation 👏🏼
Also be interested to hear a bit of your process for this, Debbie.
I like when harmony parts meet the melody at various parts of song, as you did. Inspiring! -

I’m working on my own version of this tune to make it sound less fiddly & more like a mooching/strutting cat, inspired by the memories of my own (not grey) moggies & I think, subconsciously on listening back, by “Minnie The Moocher” by Cab Calloway & maybe a bit of the cartoon cat Sylvester!

I do keep a journal using lists in columns with comments. Some days are discouraging and some are just winners! My fiddle group meets weekly on Zoom where we play something each week for the group. When possible, some of us play chords (on mute) with the fiddler.
For March, I set the following goals:
1. Review and practice a fiddle set…[Read more] -

ha-ha, in contrast to the previous lists, I have been focusing on learning ONE tune-probably took me the longest of any tune so far, and still working on the double stops:
Cajun Fiddle
After working hard on that, then I just play various tunes I know by heart for a reward! -

I love this idea! I’m new here (3 weeks) and new back to the fiddle (3 weeks and a couple days). I played for a few months a good many years ago and am loving having a fiddle in my hand again.
I started reviewing some tunes I used to know:
Kentucky Waltz
Tennessee Waltz
Amazing Grace
Angelina Baker
Faded Love
Man of Constant Sorrow

Wow, would love to hear your version of Wildflowers. My husband is a huge Tom Petty fan & is always getting me playing along with his guitar & vocal renditions!
I started the month working up to Paddy’s working on Irish Rover, Wild Rover,Kesh Jig working on a version based on your rooftop sessions with DU from a few years back!

Very interesting to do this! I’ve also looked into it a bit.
Did you raised thirds or fourths and then looked to each chord?
Fun to explore it… -
