Everyone plays for their own reasons. Some want to be Pro's, others just for the enjoyment or somewhere in between. Myself, I just like the dang thing...maybe a little obsessed
I'm in the same boat as you Barry. Just a tad obsessed with the darn thing! Even when I'm not home, I'm thinking about it.

You sound great. The kids were dancing around when I played it. Lukas thought his comment above was hilarious. And you are indeed much better than this his sister.

Coming from Lukas I am impressed but I bet his sister will catch up

This music is a miracle ... ( not the music ) ...... I figured out why QuickTime would not respond to AUTO PLAY settings and I am willing to make this information available to the PH foundation for a very reasonable fee.
Meanwhile, the attached music is only some racket caused by my out of control neighbors.
This is my other piece but is approved by Lukas !

I like it very much. Did you do play the accompaniment yourself too?
Keep up the good work Oliver.

The moral of the story is, fly now pay later. There really are no short cuts.
Hi, Oliver, I strongly agree with you, I'm practcing the basic now, but I can't give up playing songs because that's what keeps me motivated.
BTW, i can't access the piece Lukas approved:(

I like both of them, when I was a little boy, I used to make my dad laugh by singing "Hello,Dolly" Satchmo (Louie Armstrong) style. In later years I learned to do Carol Channing's version as well, but I don't want to talk about it...lol

Wow! Carol Channing! I Google-see she is alive at 90 years old.
A rare shooting star in American entertainment.

I loved her "Happy Birthday Mr President" send up of Marylin Monroe.

This should be Lukas approved. May need your higher volume setting.
All three posts that Lukas approved showed as a blank window:(

Try reloading the page. I get blanks too and reloading usually fixes it.

@ David B.
Yeah. Also found a lot on YouTube but I saw why she would be a complete failure today. I was actually able to detect and understand the words to her singing ! That would never make it in this day and age (altho I must admit that I did hear words not too long ago from those Beatles people)

I think I saw it on Johnny Carson. I know it was long after JFK was assassinated, because I was just a baby then. Mom and Dad wouldn't let me stay up that late. I know it was in color. Not a lot of help, huh?

There's hope.
I had posted a rather dismal example of how bad I was playing because of trouble with bow markings and other strange signs. I later thought this was a dumb post. (and I was right). I dumped the post. After all this is a forum about violins and violin music.
So, I decided I would do the honorable thing and I cut out a few of the more "challenging" directions. 50/50 can't be too bad.
Then I also got my electric violin back out of I.C.U. I really missed it. It was touch and go for a while. But now it has new strings and is just fine except the new strings go flat as I play .
So, to commemorate all this activity I figured the electric might like a chance at a post (I love my electric!)
In the midst of my recording sessions there were loud explosions in the distance followed by sirens and a short loss of power. Better make the post while I can
So I'm going to post some music which is either Hello Dolly or my Xmas part. Let's see. (Later did EDIT test)
