LEARNING TRADITIONAL MUSIC
About Me:
 
im a late bloomer to music i didnt figure out i could learn an instrument untill i watched a movie years ago called the music of the heart with meryl streep,anyhow i saw in the movie that i reguardless of my right hand birth defect issues could still hold a bow and so i without any help or instruction of any kind taught myself to play,i may not be the best but can play well enough at the jam sessions with others not to complain,its a constant stuggle for me but ive allways loved music and will keep on chipping at it untill i cant no more !
Hometown:
pearl river la.
Country:
United States
Occupation:
jack of all trades
Companies:
me myself and i
Schools:
pearl river high school class of 1993
Interests:
my interrest is mostly held by old world things ,old mecanical things, i have a couple old clocks i brougt back from the dead and sometimes they keep good time,lol,i love music of all kinds but mostly the kinds i love to try learning to play are old styles of things like irish traditional and folk bluegrass and the such
Movies:
even though i watch few at the present times i love many of the old black and white ones some even silent,the marx brothers,charlie chaplin,laurel and hardy,wc feilds,the three stooges,carrol bernett,the beverly hillbillys,the honeymooners(wich i miss as there are no reruns),the old cartoons like buggs bunny and the coyote and the roadrunner,tom and jerry,popeye and the ones like it,bevis and butt head was too funny,the more recent tv shows are house as i love how the disfuntional drug addict is usually the one who has the right answers even though i have work or the jam session night runs the same night,south park is funny in a disfuntional way too,recentish movies were top gun,the rambo ones,the rocky ones,the treminator ones,star wars ones ,the highlander ones,and any of the late nite cheezy horror flix ,the lately ish are ones like the lord of the rings trilogy,the queen of the dammed ,the titanic,the matrix ones,the songcatcher,cold mountain,the red violin,and the countless cheezy short story type skit movies based on mytological things,amazeing stories was a show that would be a good example,tales from the crypt was also good !
Music:
mostly all types that sound good that sound like the writer gave a damn when they was writeing it, enya i have everything she ever put out ,the celtic woman group was awsome,the irish groups like the dubliners,allison krauss,a band called enter the haggis,yellowcard,mostly alot of old folk rock and real country before it sounded like pop rock,the 60s folk rock has some tunes that were timeless to me and have stayed with me,too manny to list !
Books:
uhhhhhhhh,books they still make those huh huh,the last book i read was by anne rice titled violin,due to not haveing a movie out yet,lol !

Just checked out some of your vids. Awesome job! Did I mention I'm a huge fan of irish music and pretty much irish...anything and everything?

The difficulty in making fairy wings? Well honestly it's quite a pain in the arse. wrapping the wires is horrendously time consuming and it makes your fingers so sticky that everything else becomes messy. It's also difficult to get the cellophane on just right because the wires easily move out of place and you have to get it perfect in one shot. difficult. But I am glad you've gotten some enjoyment out of my pain and suffering =)

@megayusufzai these few videos here now were very early videos of rushed practice recordings,my skills have came up way far since,im not anywhere near as technicly good as taylor but do play a few public gigs with the jam on occasion,my home political climate is made it impossable lately to re-record the good videos i did have ,all were at myspace and it was hacked,i lost about 35 videos that i had no backups to, i do plan on in the future when its possable to get a few made and uploaded here,i now also play mandolin and irish bouzouki since i discovered the irish traditional music,some of those tunes do get to uncontrolable speeds by nature,i have the skills now on the slow ones to have folks re-requesting those at the jam all the time,im allways working on the new tunes but not many irish trad players here to hone the tunes down with at this point but i am improveing and trying !

next chance ya get.. put up another video.. id like to see your progress..as for the irish tunes... thats my favorite place when it comes to the violin... they are fun, fast, and relatively easy to learn. and... you can impress people very easily with them.. and the sound is altogeather... relaxing. my advice is this, NEVER put it down.. never stop playing for any extended amount of time.. i almost made that mistake, and had to relearn all my favorites. Good luck to you to. when you get another vid. let me know. Till then, happy playin!
