Here's my first public attempt at Josefin's Waltz, a song that I really like and hope to be able to play well some day, with all proper embellishments. So, I'm calling this version 1.0. With any luck and a lot of practice, I'll post a much improved version 2.0 in the future.
BTW, if you're not familiar with this and want to hear it played properly, this young lady does a really nice job with it:
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

A very respectable 1.0, definitely! Sounding good!

It's sounding really lovely so far. Thanks for providing the other girl's performance as well. I wasn't familiar with the tune. You've got a really nice tone when you play, and a good sense of rhythm as well. Your right elbow (bowing arm) looks a bit high throughout your playing. You can let that drop a bit unless you're playing over on the g string. It can help reduce fatigue in that arm.
I can't wait to hear more!

I felt like clapping at the end!! Thank you for sharing. I like the sound when you play the violin.

Thanks for all the positive comments, everyone. You do know that my video was the top one, right? 
And thanks for the constructive feedback. I'm working on lowering my right arm.
I also noticed how my pinky keeps popping up, like I'm having afternoon tea.
Thanks again!

Wow, you only peeked at your hands once!
I wish I could play without peeking. I can't even type without peeking, as I'm sure you've noticed on the shoutbox.
You even look more relaxed than in your last video.
Good Job!
