Hi folks, here I leave you this piece which I picked to incorporate dynamics, shifting to higher positions and vibrato. It's getting better yet there is lots to work on. However, I did enjoy myself while playing it.
Feedback is very well received.

oh Juan:
It sounds very beautiful. What a great job. I have heard you play some of this before and this was really great.
I noticed how flexible and relaxed your bowing fingers are. Wow.. That is where I hope to be.
I hope you are feeling really good about your playing. I sure am.
I love that you set out to learn a beautiful piece and you work with it so diligently and beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your music.

Thank you so much Toni. I'm very happy you liked it. I've been working a lot on this one. I'm really satisfied with the progress on shifting but I'm waiting for dynamics to really sink in.

OH! OH! OH! Is this a Stephen Foster song? I need to learn this for jam!! Did you learn this all by ear? Sheet music? Video?

@shaick Thank you so much for your comment. I learned it from sheet music. Yes it is Stephen Foster's song. But I think mine is more like Alison Krauss version of it.

Nice Juan. Really good tone. Stephen Foster would have liked listening to it.

@Uzi thank you so much. Im glad you liked it. I've been working on this tune for quite a long time. I am satisfied with almost everything except for the dynamics. I understand them intelectually but I can't seem to apply them yet. But well it will come with time I suppose

Incorporating dynamics really brings more enjoyment to both playing and listening to a performance. Great job. Also, your intonation has improved leaps and bounds. Keep up the great work!!!

Very nice, Juan!

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

Beautifully played.
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

Very nice! Your intonation sounds great! I was waiting for the thunderous applause at the end ... The only thing I could think of that you might want to work on is your vibrato often ends abruptly right before you change notes. You taper up to a fast vibrato but don't taper back down, it sounds jarring (that's an over-exaggeration).
