I decided to record this tune as a way to have fun and improvise on the violin. At this point this tune is kind of cheesy cause everyone is playing it but i like the melody. Here my purpose is to give it my own touch. Hope you guys like it

Absolutely lovely, Juan. Nothing cheesy about it. Everyone is playing it because it's a hauntingly beautiful tune. And you're just as good at it as Jay Ungar, IMHO.

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

Very, very nice Juan. That's a really great sounding fiddle you have there.

Thank you guys so much for your comments and of course for your support. Rarely am i satisfied with my playing so im always trying to work on it. Showing myself playing is hard enough so imagine what i feel like when im playing for others lol. Again Thanks a lot, your words mean a lot to me

@JuanFiddler That is wonderful!!

Someone define cheesy!

Here is what I thought was cheesy. An MD I once knew, wore a gold chain, unbuttoned his shirt halfway down his hairy chest, wore white shoes, BUT he was old and thought he was hot stuff!!!
