Thanks. I was trying to not show my sweaty hair. LOL

Good job, Mary! The DS sounded fine and looked relaxed. Liked the idea of playing melody first. Keep it up!

Thank you all! I found what Marg says to be true; “I find I have to practice a new tune a lot and get to know it well and then the accents seem to come through naturally.”

Fun indeed‼️And way to stay with the rhythm. Thanks for post in’

Tried to play this with 1-4-7 notes accentuated. Not so easy for me!

Hey Debbie! Such nice bowing and great tone, it just really sounded so good, including the DS’s!!

I agree with all the above comments Marg! Beautifully done. As I listened, I thought I recognized the melody. After a bit, I realized it seemed so like Shady Grove, a song I know. Could they be one and the same, I wonder. Great job Marg.

Sorry they didn’t go first time, Sally

Here’s the lyrics. Try singing it to the melody. I can’t sing well, but it’s fun and helps you know where the song’s going.

Very well done, Sally. Good tone on this very popular tune. Have you ever seen the lyrics…pretty hilarious!? Congrats!

Wasn’t that wonderful! Really smooth bowing and so well done, Kate. Did you choose the songs by key, style or both?

So sorry I missed that rendition, Patty. I thought you played it really well; timing, tone and bowing! Love that it touches different octaves. I will have to try it. Wonder if is considered old time bluegrass. Will have to look it up. Bravo‼️

That sounded like fun, Joanne. Liked the beat and the triplets. I am shy of playing in front of people (good with animals), but there are many jams here in Richmond, Virginia. But, right know Strum Machine suffices. I like it.

Thanks, Nancy. It’s just the video app on my IPad, under “photos.”

I liked that Seth; two fun songs, and you did well with them!

Very nicely done, Joanne. Looks like a lot of fun to play. Liked the double stops and the drone idea.
