Happy Birthday BillyG!

I haven't tried to play this yet, so you get a video instead... 

 

 

My oldest Granddaughter celebrates her 8th Birthday today, also!

Have a GREAT day!

LOL awesome - just passing by and the post in the "top 10 visible" was towards the end of the list - glad I caught it !  TYVM @Mouse and @ELCBK, appreciated!

LOL - Emily - my own take on the piece is not so very far removed from that on your link - similar idea, but not quite so in-control hehehe... love it!

**EDIT** @ELCB - b.t.w. THIS is where I got my own (attempted!) variations from  - just TOO MUCH !!! -

Thanks folks !

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

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

BillyG - Laughing So Hard Smiley

I ran across Rachel Barton Pine's video shortly after I bought my "Mortimer". 

I thought it would be nice to try to learn "Happy Birthday" for the Grandkids.  So, I watched it... decided right there that I would be better off just sharing the video instead of ever playing it! 

...had to at least find out what pizzacato was, though.

Thanks, @Mark thumbs-up

Aye indeed @ELCBK - there's also a number of videos out there with something like 12 variations on Twinkle.... and that's when I decided to keep it simple LOL.
