Video done for the ASVF group September monthly theme "fun and lively". So, here's a fun take on Harvest Home. I have NO IDEA if it's even recognisable as such - it suffers from having once been a "speed challenge" between some players here on the forum and has suffered the consequences both in the actual tune and the timing. I blame Mandy @damfino - LOLOL -

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -

That Is Super Smiley BillyG!

I wasn't really interested in learning "Harvest Home" - until NOW!

You DID make it fun! ...now I have to put that on my list (like I don't have enough on my plate).

Btw, you ALWAYS make my day - THANK YOU!

I Love Music Smiley - Emily

TY Emily @ELCBK !

Yup, it's strange sometimes how a tune just doesn't appeal to us - for whatever reason - but sometimes it just takes a bit of inventiveness to shape it into something different. That's fiddling for you !
