Played at a nursing home again—someone took a video during a duet my teacher & I played.  I think I sound louder than I should playing the harmony (2nd) part! Maybe because the person recording it is closer to me.  Oh well, thought maybe it was a good opportunity to share what it sounds like when the harmony is put forward a bit (even if unintentionally laugh)

If you look in the background (right of center screen), there's a woman sitting holding a bodhrán – someone in the town who my teacher recruited (teacher gave her the bodhrán and said “Come play with us”)— she does an outstanding job keeping rhythm for the group!

@SharonC -

Really wonderful, Sharon! 

I think many times a 2nd violin gets lost & not heard - this was perfect! 

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed listening!

@ABitRusty @stringy  Thanks!  The facility is a pretty nice one--it houses both assisted living & independent living folks.  And they seem to have very engaged "activities coordinators"; they have many things going on there all the time.

@Mark  Thanks for listening! It’s one of Catherine McMichael’s violin duet arrangements; I like her stuff.
