Your solo was beautiful! I agree with others that it was disappointing that you were hidden behind the stand but if it eased your nerves then it was the right thing!

Congratulations on the performance!! coffee

On "Cheap eBay violins" … Just tell people they are like a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. With a little love, and some practice, they too can be made beautiful.

I thought you did a great job Mustang! I'm wondering why you were glad it was over? You were picked for the solo and sounded well. Are you just really shy? I was very shy when I was about your age. jimi-hendrix

Mad_Wed, you should totally play in the concert! If I can survive a solo, you can play at a concert! Don't try to escape. What would you be playing?

I don't know yet.. Por Una Cabeza or Ave Maria (J.S.Bach-Ch.Gounod). I play them both equal bad.. duncecap

… I just wish my camera had better audio.

Can hear you loud and clear =) It's of course always better in person.. so don't worry about that!!

WELL DONE!!! /can't stop smiling amuse /

I think it was very lovely, Mustang, but my wife's opinion is the one you really want - from across the room and just a few notes into your solo, she recognized the tune and thought it was really awesome that you played that for Veterans Day, and played it well.
