Welcome to my PARTY! For my party, I would like you to play a song from your country. It can be patriotic, but not required. It must be a song written by someone from your country. If you are from the States, and playing a fiddle song, it must be an American Fiddle song, not Irish or Scottish. If you are a Canadian, a song from your country, and so on. It would be interesting to hear songs from other members' countries. Please state the country and any information you may have about the song and/or the composer.
I am submitting "This Land is Your Land". This song was written by Woodie Guthrie in 1940.
I played it on my cello, My Fiddlershop Concert Deluxe Viols, and my Fiddlerman Concert Deluxe Violin. With the Violin, I used the Fiddlerman Hybrid Violin bow.
I do apologize for all of the squeaking!
Thank you for coming to my party.

Just finished practising read your post and played this one of the top of my head few bad notes but I only did it the once and put two verses in because it goes on forever in the same vain. Its about the area that I live, this particular place is Salford a he side of manchester, I live directly between there and Liverpool few miles either way,lot of people think its an irish tune, it isnt, it sums up perfectly this area of the North West which still is run down and poverty stricken in the outlying council estates, I was Brought up on one myself, horrible, dirty, crime and violence ridden areas, the only good thing about it was the smoke from the factories obscured the view of the housing lol

@Mouse -
What a FABULOUS idea for a party!
Sure did a beautiful "This Land is Your Land", on ALL 3 instruments!
🤗 You are very talented.
@stringy -
You are playing GREAT!
You made "Dirty Old Town" sound wonderful!
Think you will have no problems reaching your goals.
I will have to do a better job of recording before I join this Party. (lol)

@Fiddlerman Loved your video! Thank you for joining my party. Does Fiddlershop sell those hats? If so, I am buying one. I wear baseball caps all Spring, Summer and Fall. I am going to look on the site next time.

@Fiddlerman thanks for playing something I recognize ;–)
Ok, here's me in lazy mode : my contribution to the movie Party was a song, french one. So, I think it can count for here too.
(… no ? pity)

😂😂 @wtw Nice try, unless your a citizen of France. But, for badges, no double use of posts or contents from other posts. Nice try. Awe, you can do it. We have faith.

Here’s an old time American tune, Florida Blues. It’s often credited to Fiddlin’ Arthur Smith of Tennessee (1898-1971).

Oh, wow! That was fantastic.
This is cool because I can hear the difference between American Fiddle and Irish or other Fiddle. This is more “rock”, or knee or spoon slapping. The other is more lilting, even when fast. Did anyone else notice that?
