Great pick, @JohnG & great job playing! You’re diligent practice is paying off.
Nice playing & versions, @ABitRusty & @stringy It’s wonderful how you can just pick it up & play by ear. I don't think of it as being “correct” or not – you make it your own.
I’ll join the party in a day or two—seem to be a little behind now

@SharonC - Actually I'd call that Not So Simple Gifts! Excellent playing and choice of rendition. Thank you for a great addition to my party.
Edited: Forgot to mention that my wife loved it, too!

@SharonC wow love it, like a bach fugue, very baroque sounding, excellent stuff, and superbly played, how long did it take to get that together, blew me away. Amazing stuff.

. . . how long did it take to get that together. .
After JohnG started the party last week, I went online looking for a version to play. Version was arranged by Jeremy Corcoran (got it at jwpepper.com). I transcribed it into Musescore (I use it a lot to practice duets), & took it to my violin lesson & played it once through with my teacher (I played 1st violin).
I recorded both parts yesterday on my Ipad using a Bluetooth earpiece to listening to musescore version to match rhythm. I then put them together with software I use called Movavi Video Editor.

When I recorded the 1st part, I planned on redoing it to increase the speed a little. After trying to do it about 6-7 times at a faster speed (& not liking the results), I decided to just go with my original recording & speed. Guess how that’s how it ended up “stately”

@SharonC -
Thank you!
Really appreciate all the info. I was looking for a video editor, so I'll definitely check out "Movavi".
You really did nice work with it! 😊

Just a reminder, I'm still waiting on the promised renditions from @Mouse and @ELCBK, though I know Mouse has been rather indisposed, so I'll patiently wait for hers.
And anyone else who wants to add to this party!

I think it will be a long wait, @JohnG. 😁

@JohnG -
Just for you!
DISCLAIMER: any hand palsy you notice should not be mistaken for intentional vibrato (it's still on my list). 😁
Sorry I couldn't do better right now, but maybe this will keep your Party going! 😊
