Thanks mouse and ABitRusty. I need to google this song I think. 
also I feel I need to make it more musical. And I can’t quantify the rests and the quavers. In other words I need a lot of help!! Thanks for the comments I appreciate 😀

@Katie L - very well done !   I know (as someone else mentioned), it's a kind of sad song - but it still always makes me smile for some reason!   I like the specific and intentional pauses ( you now, the "tick....tock...." and the "it stopped..........short......... never to go again" bits and so on, oh yeah ! )

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

haha @billyg ..yes its a great tune/song... pretty much a standard i think and I too like it Katie!  sorry hope i didnt seem to drama llama banana..was a lame attempt at humor.. i think ive read lyrics were based loosely on a hotel clock in England.  I tried finding an Allison Krauss version that ive thought  Ive heard but cant seem to locate.  Theres several happy sounding tunes like this with lyrics that are not so much... ol spinning wheel is another..

anyway..enough of that and sorry to divert the discussion of your violin progress .. again great playing of a favorite!

@Katie L -

Great!  I have not played that tune, but it did sound familiar.  

If I wasn't working on so many problems with my own playing right now, I'm sure I wouldn't notice anything.

Great that we can see both of your arms/hands - you might want to try to find something taller to stand your phone on, because this angle gives an exaggerated view of your bowing arm. 

I recently ran across a great video by Beth Blackerby (Violin Lab Channel), ALL about shoulder & elbow movement - I apologize if it's been posted before, I can't remember.  You might find this helpful.
