Excellent, Toni!

Bravo! 

When I first started practising double-stops, I kinda knew a couple songs that used them in a couple places.  To be able to practice it better, I wrote a little melody for the D and A strings so that I could play it as a piece that was all double-stops to be able to practice them better and work on getting a bit of "fiddley" sound. 

I could have just used Bile Them Cabbages or Old Joe Clark or quite a few others, where there were tutorials, but I was kinda burned out on those and in the tutorials, they never did them quite like I would want to do them.  Also, stumbling through respected old traditional pieces, I sometimes think that whoever wrote them is probably rolling over in their grave somewhere when I'm learning them, so messing around with changing things on my own stuff doesn't bother me as much.  LOL

Besides, on pieces you write yourself, nobody can say you are ****ing it up.  You are just "developing" or "exploring" the piece as part of your "composing strategy".  That's one of the least mentioned and best things about writing music.  Gotta love that.  LOL

In case you'd like to try the little piece I worked up, I'll share it here.

Now before some observant soul mentions that there are no doublestops shown in that score, I will say that it was quite intentional.  It looks much more confusing to show the doublestops when it's written out and this is a very easy melody.  You just play it in first position (not using your pinky for the A on the D string in this case) and after you're comfortable with the basic melody, you play both the A and D string, letting whichever string you aren't fingering ring open so it is always 2 notes at once.

It's an easy "kid" sort of melody, and nothing tricky like having to finger 2 notes at once on different strings to play it and do a quick impersonation of a fiddler.  LOL

There is a story that goes with the title, but I have saved it for last, so folks with no interest in such things can just skip it.

I often play while I'm cooking.  Cooking always involves some waiting time, and often it isn't really enough to do much with, but plenty to run a scale or two or an exercise of a quick verse and chorus of a song.  When I worked this up to practice the technique, I happened to be cooking blueberry pancakes.  I made up something where I could play it through a few times before it was time to turn the pancakes, and that way I can get in some extra practice time and also use the music as a sort of cooking timer.

When I ran through it again a couple days later, some members of my household asked if we were having blueberry pancakes again, since I was playing "the blueberry pancake song".  They ended up going out and getting blueberries.

So this little ditty (which probably wouldn't have actually gotten a title, since it was originally just an exercise I made up for myself) ended up known as "Blueberry Pancakes" to family and friends. 

When I was first playing it, my tempo allowed for a couple times through before turning the pancakes, if the batter and skillet temp were just as I like them.  But with practice, tempo went up and I usually run it through twice in D, modulate down to G and play it once, and then back up to D these days.  If the batter is a little thick, I may need to run through a single note version of the melody at the beginning or end, or "milk" the ending a little to give just a little extra cooking time.
