At first, I thought she was dancing on air. After repeated watching at hi zoom, I found 2 leprachan hiding under her feet holding her up. Best regards and please don't ever stop.
To those who would criticize: put a fiddle under your chin, play well and do a Celtic dance while you are playing. All in front of an audience. Go on now....
Wow. All the things you need to do at once to play the violin are hard enough, and she's dancing while she plays. That's some multitasking ability right there.
Great Job! I haven't heard that tune in a while, Jennifer Roland wrote it, It's called "Cape Breton Batherson Dancers" or is it , "Forresters"? I can't remember, i used to play it a long long time ago! Amazing job!
This is amazing, Maggie, but not a good idea. You were so perfect at the Clarksville contest with the waltz, and now it looks like your "showing-off" - and this is very sad. You don't need to do this !!
@bertwindon Like I always tell my baby girl, the loudest boos come from the cheapest seats. Like this one. She is touring all over the country with one of the most accomplished bands in America. She is as good as it gets. She is also a Hellacious mandolin player, dancer and arranger. She has recorded several CD's with some prestigious musicians--all the while going to college and making 4.0 grades. Still a teenager.
who is "booing" ? and since when did adjectives begin with a capital letter ?
Do you do English lessons as well ?
I am one of Maggies most ardent fans by the way, and thank her greatly for her amazing performance at Clarkesville which has opened-up an entirely new game for me - Mrfiddleman. They also say "empty vessels make most noise" - and many other things. Take your pick.
Fiddle and violin are the same instrument. The only real difference is how you play and the kind of music you play. Fiddles were being played in Ireland, Scottland and Norway before the United States existed.
there is no physical difference between the two. The difference is in the style of play. A violin is more precise(think orchestra concert) whereas a fiddle is more for danceability(think laid back good time).
Really the only real difference is the "bridge", fiddlers love to use double stops and by having a radius bridge it allows for fiddlers to play double stops easier.
Banjo Roller, Mandolin Chopper, Guitar Flat Picker, and Fiddler here....did I mention that I sing a bit also?
We saw Maggie play in Lawrence KS with Peter Mayer. She is super talented as an accompanist, I'd love to see her as a headliner. Keep up the great shows!
She competed in the Old Time Fiddle Championship in Clarksville, TN where clogging or buck dancing in the American Scots-Irish tradition is still alive and well. She's a very talented young lady.
here in yorkshire we call it clogging it is still done in the pits and mills of yorkshire and we are going to start thowing them at bankers who have got all our brass ( money ) all best from england
thats how its done, full stop ,
