Can't pass up one more today....    Might not be everyone's favorite style, but some days I just can't get enough of this :)

Friday!  Gotta love it :)   

 

Trying to pick up the tempo a bit as I play, and this gets my toe tapping today.

Been working on "The Lament of the First Generation" for the last few weeks.   Going offshore soon...  so thought this one would be appropriate :)   I can't play it this fast, but can start working on it.

think your tempo will suit drunken sailors just fine, and you will be a popular dude on the boat!

Good stuff everyone.

Love that Kid Carsen!!!!  and that Sailors Hornpipe is lovely.

I got inspired this week by one of our own Violinists @juanfiddler ... I saw a video of him playing on Facebook.  I am wondering if he will let me post it. ( pretty please Juan)  As a five year student, he inspires me every time I hear him play and always has good advice and help for my own playing.

This is what did it for me this week! Sorry for the lack of actual playing video, but the song is so beautifulheart. I hope one day I can play at least half that well.

It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself. Johann S.Bach

Going Fishing this weekend...   so might as well listen to the Fishing Song!  Just like being out on the water, it can start out slow and really pick up the tempo as the night goes on.

This is the song I took to my lesson this week to learn.   Making progress on it...  it's one of those "classics" you have to love...

Been playing the rainbow connection for the last week.   But this week, Katy Adelson motivates me with her version of Silver and Gold.   Just sounded like a good song to start off t he new year with :)
