Sorry if this is a dumb question, but in Scarborough Fair, first line, last measure, the open A has a symbol above it, like a dot with a half moon over it.  What does that mean?  I looked through my violin books and I don't see one like it.....

 

Thanks.

Sorry I forgot what it was called. Try searching the posts, I know I also asked about it once but I don't want to give you a wrong answer.

A fermata, an indefinitely held note or until when told to stop, or when you fall off the end of your bow cool(I think)

I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

My teacher(s) called it a bird's eye when I was first learning to read music.

When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,

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

Yes guys. A fermata is right.

In this case, very free and completely up to you how long of if you want to at all. Just end the phrase breathe and go on.
