Had to repost this one Emily as you tube wanted to look into a copyright infringement, so I just deleted it re recorded and posted it again. There is a copyright infringement on one of my others on there as well at the moment.

@stringy -

YT copyright infringements I've been seeing are ridiculous.  Tunes in O'Niell's Music of Ireland (including this traditional tune) were published in 1903 and should be in the public domain!  Edward Cronin was credited for this tune... he died in 1918 - over a hundred years ago!

If you can include who composed a tune - that may be what YT is looking for, but I wouldn't be afraid to dispute their claim, especially if you have a copy of O'Neill's.

Or, see if you can get by just with adding "my version of...", "fiddling with...", or something similar to the title of your videos from now on. 

Jeez, next thing you know there'll be a copyright on playing Happy Birthday! 😳

The other one is drive the cold winter away, that was done 400 years ago but recorded by a folk band on you tube, I did get a message from you tube on that one saying that I can leave it, but the copyright notice is still on it. I decided the simplest way is delete and redo and repost, saves messing about with them. Maybe the band who re recorded it got copyright on the name?, in any case my re done verson is better I think so not too bothered really.

Thanks for taking a look Abitrusty, whats Pandora though never heard of that.

I am likely posting no more vids on here now, there comes a limit I think to what people want to hear, (or will put up with) I think it gets to a point were people think they have to comment and thats the time to stop posting.

Will still keep commenting but thats it for the fiddle now I think;) may plonk a couple on the other site, but not sure about that anymore to be honest, thanks for giving a listen anyway much appreciated.

Hope you'll keep posting whatever you want to share!  

I do enjoy listening (hope that doesn't sound trite).  ...definitely looking forward to joining in with some recordings when I feel better (even if I can't get my dentures fixed).  

...feeling your frustration, though.  Maybe there IS only a handful of us folks visiting here that are interested - that shouldn't stop you.  Others may be too busy with lessons, sessions, or everyday life - especially now that covid is no longer the threat it was.  Maybe most of those 'guest' viewers we see visiting threads are just curious folks that don't play a musical instrument.

Thanks mouse.

Emily made me laugh about the dentures, made me think of the Hendrix thing when people really thought he was playing with his teeth.

You are right about visitors we have, most post one thing and thats it, you are also right though about people having other things to do as well. Maybe something like tune of the day, or week would create interest, you know the kind of thing, a theme and you have to get a tune together for that week, but who knows, people seem to enjoy the xmas thing.

Maybe I will post a vid again if someone comes up with some kind of idea, at the moment though for me anyway its not worth bothering.

By the way that image of the bench is brilliant, its a real work of art.

stringy..you do you!  if you wanna post a vid ..do it!  if i want to watch and comment i will.. if i enjoy it ill let you know.    its mostly a texting environment and sometimes a reply is just a nod of ..hey..you sound good..i watched and listened to you and keep up your enthuaiasm and such.

ive always thought of the forum.as a violin/fiddle club of sorts thats open to share ideas and progress... its not a performance troupe and not everyone wants to share vids, but that possibilty is open when they do.  no biggie either way

Rest assured, your posts and videos are being viewed, and quietly enjoyed, all posts are. The viewer numbers for the posts reflect that. 

I think people are hesitant to join any kind of forum. Might be shy, maybe just want to see and read tips, and not actually post anything on the internet anywhere, trust, etc. But, viewers are there. So, please do not stop sharing. 

Viewers, please join and maybe jus post a smiley face, thumbs up, thank you for sharing, etc, if you do not really want to "actively" participate.

Love and appreciate the videos, @stringy!

@stringy I'm a bit (a lot) behind in terms of forum-reading, but I do watch your videos, though I don't always comment (which I should). Glad you're taking the trouble of making them -that's not so easy- and sharing.

WTW thanks for the kind comment and taking a look.

People seem to have completely misconstrued my meaning somehow. Its nice if people look and comment, most people want to be seen or heard, but To be honest I dont really care if they do or dont, maybe I should have explained myself better, If I wanted that I would just stick to tik tok, I dont do that though because I like the camaraderie on here. I was actually referring to the amount of people who view the site!I felt like it was sort of forcing the few on here all the time to look.

Until mouse said she has view figures I thought that virtually no one was interested in the site, hence me saying I wasnt going to bother with vids anymore. I know people like yourself view and dont comment every time nothing at all wrong with that, but I was under the impression that there were very few who even looked at the site. Hope you see what I mean.
