The building that my instructor has her studio in was broken into last night. They busted open her studio door too. Thankfully they were interrupted before they could take anything. They had a bunch of computers from the other businesses in the building piled up next to the door. Anyways, my lesson is the first of the day and she has just gotten another student scheduled in right after me. So we spent too long during my time for me to get a new song from her. I've been working on my current ones for a couple to several weeks now and am ready to start working on something new. What do you have? What is fun to play? I need ideas!

I like to encourage all to play the Godfather theme... it is rich and zesty.... like sauce..
you know? da gravy? you can "take it to the Mattresses"
I am going to work on the other "Minute" from the Suzuki book. It is not my favorite but I think there is something to learn. I don't know the name of the other Minuet. It is just not the Bach Minuet 1.
American the Beautiful and Pomp and Circumstance is nice from the Essentials 2 book.
Have you ever thought of Sad Romance for Violin. It is nice and pretty also.
Somewhere over the Rainbow is pretty.
Fiddle Tunes are fun, you might already know them, they are all sort of new to me.
Hummm.... I really like the Dark Waltz, Pierre has it on one of his demos, and Naska (madwed) recorded it also. Not sure where to get sheet for that.
Well... that is what I came up with for now.
And there is the Paganini Piece in the Essentials book called Etude. I still have yet to find a recorded version of it. (which I kind of need to hear to play well with the sheet).
Vibrato Desperato.... Desperately seeking vibrato

"This young wine may have a lot of tannins now, but in 5 or 10 years it is going to be spectacular, despite the fact that right now it tastes like crude oil. You know this is how it is supposed to taste at this stage of development." ~ Itzhak Perlman

@Georganne
As you can see, the list is 'huge'
There are just so many great pieces of music to choose from.
However, your participation in the 'Talk Like A Pirate' project would be appriecated
(Just trying to drum up some 'business' for the project)
