Thanks, Owen, I have been listening to a couple of dozen new tunes I need to learn to play in the group. I worked on this one using sheet music in chunks, mostly to get the slurs down. I was struggling until I hit the right pattern on the first few triplets, then it fell together. I gotta get rid of that poker face, I most definitely have a good…[Read more]

Thank you. This is one of the many new tunes I’m trying to learn so I can play with my local Spelmanslag. Composer Roger Tallroth is a Swede and I have heard him the the band Väsen a couple of times. He composed this song to the christening of his niece Josefine (“dopvals” means “christening waltz”).

Thanks, I should correct my thread heading. “La Danse de Mardi Gras”
Song by The Balfa Brothers. And my apologies for digressing from the original score. -

I know I recorded this last year after learning it at 20d. Pretty scratchy as I really haven’t played it much since.

My first “Jam”. Granted I barely got through scratching out a few chords. Trying to get this waltz under my belt. Recorded so I could use the sound clip to practice.

Although I feel my playing is nowhere near being ready to join a jam group, I have made a connection with a local jam. Oddly enough, this group (Scandi Fiddle Group) is led by a family member (my mother’s second cousin). I found the group on a link from a Facebook group: Old Time Music in New England. Although it will be a few months until my…[Read more]

How do I play an E7 chord? The song I’m working on has A, D, A, E, A, E, A. Then E7 A, E, A, D…. I got them all but the E7

The weight and reach of this 15″ student viola is my favorite. My FM masters viola is 15.5 and almost too much for me now but I love the deep rich sounds. The violin seems too small but definitely easier to hold on to. I am working with the violin a lot more recently, but my go to is the masters. Thanks for the feedback.

Here is another rendition with my 15″ student viola. Same recording device (phone) but now outdoors in my favorite concert hall.
