Oh I love this little ditty. I can play it, not well, but what ever. I'll try for that elusive video soon.

Hahahha. Too funny Diane.
Ok, I just happened to have my fiddle at work today so got a couple of minutes to bring it out. Sorry this recording is from my cell phone which is only a fairly competent phone and not a smart phone so it recorded it sideways.

LOL! Someone on the chat wanted a T-shirt made with that acronym! OK here is my video.
My goal is to work on it every day and re-post an improved version by the end of the month. All of you are responsible for holding me to it OK?

here is a quick vid I made of my starting point, takes me a bit to get going but I did ok. lol. I also explain my approach and goals a bit.
So here is a pdf of the basic tune if you need it. I am using the one in the brian wicklund book.

@Schaick Love your turkey and straw photo hahaha. Awesome.
@Picklefish , I really like your idea on double stops. I'm just learning to use these too and can't wait till you figure it out some more so I can copy you lol.
@fishnrodds It's fun to hear the different versions. Thanks.

Well we are half way through the month.
I tried to get a video to see if I had increased in speed but I got so finger tied and then laughing I had to discard the video. I do seem to be a bit faster but not that much of a difference.

OK after 23 days of practice. Notice I have shaved 16 secs off of the video time - so I have sped up a teenyweeny little bit. I think maybe fewer mistakes? I hope!
