    Because I live in a “Data Desert,” where High Speed is but a dream; I was forced to go to Pole Green Park in town, where data is abundant to listen and watch Office Hours with Melinda on my Iphone. She is a very creative teacher, making a classroom experience that fits her audience on that day. On this day, there weren’t many questions or comments…[Read more]

    I love this tune @detale! Thanks for sharing. I like the echo effect, how did you do it?

    By the way, when you shared the link it had quotes around it and so the video didn’t show: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNG_HLLKPZc”.
    I edited it, removing the quotes. I only mention this because I want you to keep posting videos!!!

    Here’s an old-time tune called “Big-eyed Rabbit.” It’s in the Round Peak tradition of Tommy Jarrell. It was filmed by a pond in Kenneth Hahn Park in Los Angeles. The only thing missing was the smell of duck poop 🦆 💩

    Hey Richie @r88,

    Thanks for sharing. Not a lot of absolute beginners do that!

    I liked how you gave a little instruction at the beginning. Trying to teach something is a great way to learn more deeply.
