    No Nick, I was kind of wired, as I remember!

    Thank you, Mark. Brilliant would be the last word I’d ever use to describe my playing….but, I would call my desire to play quite high. A couple of years ago, with very limited talent, or bravery, I walked into a brewery where a fiddle jam was proceeding and managed to have a good time playing some simply back-up chords to some bluegrass tunes…[Read more]

    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!

    Hey Barbara,

    Yeah, this course is touted more as a journey, than as a book “to get thru.” Probably a good way to look at it. Sometimes everyone needs a journey to keep one “lively.” I took lessons for three months over 30 yrs. ago and dropped it as other things replaced that. Four years ago I saw the need, picked up my daughter’s violin and found…[Read more]

    Thank you NettieLynn. I do like Irish music. How long have you played the violin? And what kind of music do you favor?

    Well thanks Wendy. My arthritic fingers don’t always behave well, but I try, and I enjoy it. I hope you have fun playing and look forward to hearing you play too. I’m already in my fourth year of playing with Fiddlehed as my main training.

    Hello there beginner fiddlers. Although nobody has posted in this group for ages and you are all probably a long way into your journey now. How are you all getting on? I have only just started on this course and am finding it very useful. I was having face to face lessons before COVID 19 stopped all of that, I had some ZOOM lessons with a teacher…[Read more]

    That was just great! Your pitch is spot on. As it turns out, I was just getting ready to load me doing Hector! I also looked at some online videos, just to get a sense of what tempo is standard.

    Hi Owen, no I didn’t make it – I was working too!

    Something really interesting happened [in a fiddle sense] on Saturday though, and I’ll post to ‘Chatting on the Porch’ soon in case it’s of interest to anyone.

    Take care and keep inspiring us beginners!

    Working in Irish Fiddle Journey’s Course. Just finished with Module 3. Really like it quite a bit. Maybe it “jostles” something in my ancestral roots.

      Me too! 42% Scottish 32% Irish and 15 % English plus a tiny bit Swedish ( Viking Invasion) Ancestry. Love for Irish Music must be in our DNA!

      Hey thanks, Nick! I missed Sunday’s session as I had to work. Did you make and, if so, what was it like.
