Thanks for sharing that, Kevin! I discovered the same tune and its sad back story earlier this year, and since i cound not find any sheet music online, I had to figure it out by ear and learn it that way; likely same as you?

Eventually, I reached out to Kirstie Mclanaghan over facebook to thank her for writing it. She was happy to hear someone…[Read more]

Hey Joanne! Really like the sound you make on this one with your fiddle. Notes just sound so clear!

Hey Keith! Real enjoyable playing. You stayed right in time and in tune with the backing track and played for a good long time. I agree Jocelyn is a great coach with FH. Keep it up!

Nice job David!

Great job, jumping right in and putting a video up! Noticed that you don’t use a shoulder rest. I know some fiddlers do without one. So far, what’s you’re favorite style of music; old time, Irish, Polkas, waltzes….? And what is your favorite type of practice; scales and variations of scales, call and response, play Alongs on FH site…..? Have fun, David.

Thanks. I am trying to make double stops sound better during the fall challenge.

Welcome to Fiddlehed. It’s a great place to learn. I live in the deep south and have also heard this tune all my life. Family sing alongs.
Thanks for you kind words.

Lovely singing! I haven’t tried double stops with this one yet. I like what you did.

David, recording is hard isn’t it? This take sounds good! Great straight bowing.

Thanks Owen. Working on double stops now

Good job, Debbie; your bowing is so good. I really enjoyed this.

Love “Blackberry Blossom”. Thanks Owen

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. Sounded great loved the double stop accents!

Thank you to everyone for your kind comments. We really did have a lot of fun. I hope that some of you wil get to have the same opportunity. Thanks again to Jason for his part in bringing us all together.

Thanks everyone I’m going to keep fiddling with those double stops and try to get them smoother. Sometimes they don’t work at all & just sound creaky!

Love the deep drones!
