Ok here for a redux of La danse de Mardi Gras now with a few slides and a wee bit of vibrato. Let's hear what you've been working on.

@Ripton - NICE! Got me in the mood to add mine, too.

And @SharonC, as always great performance of When the Saints Go Marching In!

Here is my contribution, not as technically as proficient as other tunes in the thread, but it was fun to try out La danse de Mardi Gras with improvisation.

The old curmudgeon!

@ELCBK  You know, I had some beads I was going to wear--but that got in the way of the shoulder rest, so I just stuck with the scarf for both violin 1 & 2. smile

@SharonC - Thanks, different styles and Greg is a much better player than I am!

Looks like "La Danse de Mardi Gras"

Sounded Great!

Wish I'd been sittin' around the fire

GREAT PARTAY!
