Someday I hope to be able to play half as good. I love thebeautiful haunting tone of that fiddle!

[fiddleboogie]

Excellent playing. You have very articulate ornaments and your bowed triplets are very snappy. I like the drive you have in this tune....all in your bowing. Good tone and projection. All in all a great performance. Keep at it.
