Mark, I like that ending! You played for 2:42 straight – that’s some going.

I’m nowhere near that but I’ll keep watching this for inspiration. Great job!

Thanks for that excellent performance. Really good sound. Hector the Hero was one of the songs I tried to learn first from the Irish Fiddlehed course. Been playing for 18 months an its really helped me to get through this pandemic without going insane! I’m 66. Keep on Fiddling!
