OK so - I believe I have caught up -
@ABitRusty - nice one on the reel, it moves along nicely ! Great stuff and well played Greg !
@JohnG - Great collection of individual tunes there John. That's a nice "full-voiced" instrument you have there, I like the sound of it. Always fancied a viola- one day, one day! TY for all the videos, you're making great progress !
And as ever, my apologies to anyone I missed since I was last on the thread.
Thanks everyone for sharing your work for the party here, well done !
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -

@BillyG - Great video, you always seem so relaxed and cheerful when you play. Loved the "shave and haircut two bits" at the end!
@ELCBK, @ABitRusty, @Katie L, @BillyG, thanks for the kind words. It's a little discouraging though to have play for about two hours to get 3 1/2 minutes of videos, even though part of that time was playing other tunes to decide which videos to keep and share.
The old curmudgeon!

Lol! Welcome to string playing! It only gets worse.
I know I’ve spent hours practicing a single measure (not all at once). It’s like cooking & eating a good meal. All that time preparing—but how long does it take you to eat it?

@SharonC - Thanks for the continued encouragement! I guess I still have trouble remembering that I am still relatively new at this.

TYVM folks -
@ELCBK - yeah - it's been such a great party thread ! Well done !
@JohnG - ty man, and oh - I was reading above about the 2 hours to get 3 and a bit minutes of "good to use" video..... Aye, I remember that - I wouldn't concern yourself overmuch about that - it WILL all come together !!!
@Mark - Thanks man - hope you and yours had an enjoyable holiday period!
@SharonC - ty for watching - for me, well, it's always fun to play - whatever level I'm at or however well (or poorly) I have "mastered the piece" - I don't care - it is all "in the moment". It'll be slightly different the next time I play the same piece - so for me as I say - it's all about having fun with the instrument!
@ABitRusty - Cheers Greg! and LOL at both your own and Johng's comment on the "shave and a haircut" out-take ----- I'll tell you both - ANY time I do that, I have this image in my mind of the bit in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" --- it cracks me up..... Man - can't resist -

I had to add a few last tunes for this Christmas Party!
Again, just some more old and new favorites of mine*, that I hope you all will consider learning in some form or another - maybe for next year.
*Simple versions of: "Blessed Be That Maid Marie", "Cold and Raw The North Wind Doth Blow", "Here Betwixt Ass and Oxen Mild", "The Golden Carol", "Christmas Cheer", "Pat-a-Pan", "Hark The Herald Angels Sing", the end of the "Twelve Days of Christmas", and the last phrase of "Here We Come A-Caroling"! Oops... maybe Thirteen Days of Christmas. 🙄

@ELCBK
Way to go, Emily! Another creative Christmas melody! Great playing of some very nice tunes—I had forgotten about Pat-a-Pan! Long time since I heard it. Wonderful ending with the 12 days of Christmas!
