Nicely played! I've been using some Irish/Scottish tunes for the same reason. Playing around with flicks, rolls (get em right about 50% of the time haha) and slides. One of my favorites is King of the Faeries. I'm thinking about calling it something else, though :p

Nice piece. You and that Ming are starting to treat each other nicely. 🙂

Great job, Mandy. It's amazing how far you've come in such a short time. 🙂
Now I know what my problem is - I need a hat! lol

I have to agree with Jim you have progressed quite well in your playing.
It would seem that you are a natural at playing the violin and I look forward to more videos of your progress.
Thank you for sharing Mandy!

@Dan-Hur Thank you 🙂 I love playing all the ornaments in Irish fiddle tunes, it's so fun 🙂
@Charles Thanks 😀 I think the Ming is a good match for me 🙂
@Jim Dunleavy Aw, thanks so much 🙂 Haha, I'm thinking maybe the hat works like Dumbo's magic feather for me... Maybe one will for others? Hats for everyone 😀
@Fred Thank you 🙂 I don't always feel like I'm making progress so I'm glad to know that I still am 🙂
@coolpinkone Thank you 
and I can't believe it's almost 2 years since I picked up this instrument 😀 Time sure does fly!
@~Rea Thank you so much 
I do love this little tune 🙂

It's funny, I tried recording this video earlier without the hat... couldn't do it. Threw the hat on and hit helped me relax enough to get a decent-enough take, haha.

@Fiddlerman Thank you 🙂
Haha, yes, the hat helps me feel like I at least look the part of a fiddle player, lol. Maybe now I need some cowboy boots, haha.

I know, it seems wrong that I don't, haha. My teacher didn't realize until she twisted her ankle and needed to wear a more comfortable shoe that all she had were cowboy boots, lol.

wow you sound so good! I love your video by the way! I find the fiddle tunes so much fun! I dug out my copy of Mel Bays' guide to fiddle and realized i'm missing the first CD 🙁 but i'm digging in to the ones i do have muh hahahhahha. Hopefully i'll be like you soon!! You're ornamentation is awesome and there's something about just playing and adding your own expression that truely is so much fun! 😀
I love classical pieces but fiddle pieces just get your heart beat pumping and feet a pounding with joy 😀 can't wait to hear more!
Lead me, Follow me, or get out of my way!
