Well, with OldOger's old age, Ferrett's deaf ear, and my broken little finger we should be a sight to see play this tune!

I can hardly wait... I need another badge... LOL

It's all about the group effort. No solos. I never share individual videos and noone will ever be the wiser in case you are not happy with it. Just send it and I'll do my job. :)

Ferret with your one deaf ear you'll still be closer to true then I will be. FM will have an easy time editing my track. He'll click <del> and move onto the next. LOL

His hardest thing would be coming up with my Top 10 Personal award badges for ;

1 : The Most Deleted Submissions

2 : The Greatest numbers of Off Notes in a Christmas Piece

3 : The worst job of Tuning for a Performance

4 : Playing something not even close to the Group Project.

5 : Never Hitting the Flat Notes

6 : Always playing Notes that are Flat

7 :  "We think you have Cello Strings on your Violin" Award

8 : The "If that Violin was a woodwind, we'd ask you to change the reed" award 

9 : "He's playing THAT again" medallion

10 : Finally, " We think he used 2 different strings during that performance" medal.

LOL Barry. :)

Trust me when I say that I've heard everything. You guys can think of me like you do with your doctor. Figure that your doctor has seen everything and nothing phases him. ;)

@BillyG  Yea, I think that's what keeps bringing us back here. The Comic Relief. Oh, well, there is that violin thing too, but, well, you knowwink

@Barry That's a Low'd off my mind. I thought for a moment you were in that Star Wars Movie. I was just going to start calling you Han.  It fits my signature and all.

May the Fiddle be with you, always. thumbs-up

LOL then I go with my signature block  wink

You're not Australian are you? You come from an octave down under.

 

I was thinking of trying a 5 string Violin just to get the C string and the lower range. It still wont have the voice box of a viola, but it'll be close with the right strings.

The Viola is also uncommonly known as the Alto Violin. Therefor we could, if we wanted to, call it an alto fiddle. ;)

You guys are cracking me up.  Hey, how do we get badges?

Violin is also known as a Soprano Viola.  The name Violin comes from the Italian "Violino".  Little Viola.

So anyway you want to look at it, it's all good.
