fidelestre Awesome! I liked using Red Desert Fiddle's play along video for it on youtube... I do better playing along with something, or hearing something vs trying to play with a metronome. She has a slow and medium speed play along video for it :)  

@coolpinkone Thanks! Everyone is playing such fun tunes, I need to start making a list... so many songs, so little time, lol! I look forward to hearing you play Swallowtail... I love that song :) I need to print out some sheet music for it and give it a try.

Ok I finally just threw a few songs together.  I didn't have time for re dos and realize I was off on a few notes as well as some timing.  We wont even mention the end....  Hahahha.  

https://youtu.be/bVtyzJzhlv0

Irish Waltz, Merry Boys of Greenland, Coming Through the Rye,  Skye Boat Song.

 

Hahhaha edited because the place is not called Skype.

Yayyy !  The party's still alive !   Good stuff, ty !

Thanks for that Georganne, and all in one take - no messing around there !thumbs-up.  Merry Boys of Greenland - there's something familiar about that - I just don't know where I've heard it before.....   now that's just gonna bug me....   might have been one of the (older) Transatlantic Sessions... but who it was playing, no idea....

P.S.   The "Skype" boat song - hahaha - I did the same typo on a short set-list I typed up for SJ some time back....

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)
