Can the false modesty, Joe. You sound good and you know it.
But since you asked for some "substantial criticism", I'll see what I can do. I think that if you relax your bow arm just a little and take longer strokes with the bow, it may smooth out the tone of your notes a bit.
I think you also may be doing something I have to work on myself, which is using more pressure than you need with your fingers on the strings. A tense left hand can't move as well as a relaxed one.
Sounding good though, and it definitely was not a wasted month.
Lovely sounding violin you have there, too. I like the tone.

Great job Joe,
After just one month you can play 8 pieces and even spiccato. 
Bend your fingers on the right hand a bit to get more flexibility and experiment with using the whole bow.
You have a good ear Joe. Congratulations on learning so much in only one month.

I failed to read the cautions in your preamble and thought my computer audio was broken 
(Just kiddin' 
)
After one month I was still figuring out how to keep the bow from hitting my nose.
Most excellent for openers, Joe.

LOL Oliver - I can't imagine the fiddle hold you were using!
Nobody told me I couldn't play on the back side of the bridge !
(See, this is what happens if you don't have a teacher.)

I just tried playing on the back side of the bridge. It sounds better than my usual playing.
