A bit tense today, so I'll have to work on this more, but since I had everything set up for recording the County Down GP - here ya go.
My version of Cecile Corbel's "En La Mar".
If googly is correct, then this translates to something about the Sea - hope it's okay.

@ABitRusty , @Mark -
Thank you for listening!
I'm hoping that with a little more practice I'll be able to loosen up & smooth it out (maybe even play all of it in tune).
Any suggestions you might have that could help me get the 'feel' of the tune better - would be greatly appreciated!
...Thanks for the great Party, Stringy!

I thought that was great Emily ! I thought you did a great job. What bow strokes are at the start ? Also thanks for posting the link I thought you did it justice!! It had the drama I thought! Enjoyed listening .

Thank you, appreciate you listened!
Sorry Katie, I'm not very helpful, just wasn't really thinking about any specific bow strokes - except to keep it light . I was more preoccupied with whether to use pizzicato or bowing at the beginning & still trying to figure a better ending.

@ELCBK Enchanting tune! Great playing--I think you’ve captured the Sea-ness feel

Nice playing Emily thanks for joining in, like your version, not had time to comment this week as I am in Budapest at the moment. I think your intonation is bob on by the way;)

Nice to hear you are traveling again!
Do you take your fiddle with you?
Listening to any traditional folk music?

For this Party, here's the last of the 4 tunes I have to share from recording the other day with my Mini Spark amp & App, using Mortimer - my 5-string A/EV.
Wanted to see how bad this patch's reverb sounded playing something a little more upbeat. ...sorry, still haven't quite got all the kinks worked out of "Leaving Brittany".

@Katie L & @ABitRusty -
Thank you, both!
I'm glad I was able to add to this Party!
Thought this amp patch made my A & E strings sound too bright (for my liking), but all that reverb didn't bother me - I was afraid it might with a faster passage.
I didn't record hardly anything last year, hope to do better this year.
Appreciate you listened!

Listened to all your tunes Emily really enjoyed them, I think the Electronic gizmos really suit your style of playing, sounding really good, you have obviously put a lot of work in, sounding great. Particularly liked the Mominette sounds very French.

@stringy & @Mark -
Thank you both for watching!
...just getting started.
I'm grateful I found a way to tryout & learn about the differences in many amps & effects pedal, how they work - and at such a low cost. Amplification also makes my goof-ups even MORE noticeable to me, so hopefully it will also help make me a better player. (lol)
