yay...one sleep till Fiddlefest day.
I will be gone til 11:30 or so Cali time, then I will hang out and watch. I have had running injuries and I didn't get to learn new material. ( I play standing up)...even when I could play sitting down the painkillers had me so groggy.
Right ankle and left foot are healing up. I am just happy to be a part of it all.
Awww, bother, @coolpinkone - you'll miss my intro - I had / still have a "special little tune for you" ( very short - you mentioned it somewhere else - not telling... ) LOL - but - given any free slots once you get online- I'll maybe jump in an play it for yah ! It;s a SURPRISE ! ( well, don't hold your breath... but it should at least be recognisable ! )

Have fun at the game, Pierre @Fiddlerman
I've been sick all week and have barely been able to practice more than a few minutes here and there, so I feel horribly rusty, and didn't get to brush up on anything I had wanted to. My show is going to be less then stellar, but I'll still go on and muddle through, lol.

Nine and a half hours. Nine and a half hours. There was one un-used 30 minute slot in the nine and a half hours. Oh, did I mention that the event ran for a consecutive nine and a half hours ?
Insane.
And awesome at the same time !
Der Ring des Nibelungen — Richard Wagner
With a total length of around 15 hours, depending on its musical pacing, renowned 19th century Germancomposer Richard Wagner’s epic masterpiece Der Ring des Nibelungen is a cycle of four linked operas — Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. Although often performed separately, Wagner intended for the work — which is based loosely on the Norse sagas and the epic German poem, the Nibelungenlied — to be executed as a whole.
Uh-huh. We're better than half way there......
I'll probably say more about it once my brain starts to function again..... but for now, just a HUGE Thank You to all of you, players and listening-audience. And a special thanks to those who did multiple sets to keep things rolling-along.
You're awesome guys.
And glad you managed to drop in @Fiddlerman. Ace !
I may well go back to sleep..... later's all

EPIC... EPIC....
Thanks to our founder of the event BARRY!!!
As I mentioned last night.. he encourages us YEAR round, every month, every week. Thanks so much.
Bill you are so awesome to show up, and stay with us the whole Fiddle Fest. What a happy time. Thank you so much for playing a song for me. I am honored.
Pierre... our beloved mentor and best teacher, when you show up for us it makes our hearts swell with pride. #bestteacherever!!!!
I was so happy to have Shaick, Mandy, Rob show up for their first Fiddlefests. Wow... it was a treat.
I am typing from my office and I am bleary from such a busy day yesterday.
Thanks to all that played and showed up.

I felt bad that you and Bill both had that glitch @KindaScratchy .. poor Billy played a whole show to one person.
But other than those couple glitches, I think the day went great I can't wait for next year

LOL - yeah bring on FiddleFest 4 !
Mehhhhh - no need feel bad about it on my part @damfino the one guest I had on the first of my 3 shows gave me two tips ! LOLOL Listen - some days when I play, there are NO viewers !!! It's probably due to my timezone when I jump-on at 8 or 9am my time - looks like the rest of the SJ world is asleep - and that happens to be the very time of day I can play like Garrett or Stirling - y'all miss out on it... LOL!!!!! I'm well used to it ! Ha ! Do I care - no - I play on regardless ! I was of course seriously kidding about the Garrett/Stirling reference... ( Hangs head in abject shame for even mentioning their names in the same sentence as mine... LOL )
Anyways - @everyone interested in SJ -keep an eye open for an upcoming new post relating to SJ - it'll be something like "Fiddle on... SUNDAY!" or something similar - based on my usual "Fiddle on..." shows - (which no one tunes in to ) - you heard what @Barry said during the FF event - we're planning to set up a sort of "impromptu session but do it on a Sunday" type of thing for the "regulars" to either join in or just watch.... more details to come....
Agreed - it is getting better year by year.... and the sort of "co-host" thing that's going on between myself and @Barry can both sort of spread things across timezones if one or other needs a break, and, also, our insane chat and our (friendly, and planned, intentionally slightly argumentative) banter between each other is deliberately, delicately and consciously planned to keep you chat-readers on the edge of yer seats and bring a smile to your faces !!!!! LOLOL
At the end of the day - it is YOU folks -players and audience - the rest of you - that bring it on ! Thanks to all the effort you performers go to to make it good !
You are all awesome for taking part and/or watching ! Thank you all !

I was just starting to picture you dancing around, playing your fiddle, @BillyG haha
I am looking forward to the Sunday fiddling. It's something that will force me to get through my songs without brain-farting in the middle of them... which I tend to do sick or not, lol.
