Beautiful. Haunting. Mesmerizing.

This one is stuck in my head now!

That was absolutely beautiful! I wish that I could have given it more than 5 stars.

I have that song and it is really nice to have been able to hear it played. 

You just did such a lovely, touching rendering of this song. As another member said, it is haunting. Just so filled with feeling. 

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Superb playing, very beautiful, full of feeling, one of the best versions of this tune I have heard.

I feel your loss, I love dogs more than humans, and have lost more than my fair share.

Thank you so much, everyone smile 

This fiddle sounds so nice, it makes playing this easy. I like playing the slow sappy version, but it is also a cute tune with the tempo bumped up. Takes on a new mood.

@damfino -

My biggest regret of not being able to login this last week - I couldn't tell you how wonderful your playing has become. 🤗  You truly have found some great instruments & it's really fabulous you can make them sound so heavenly!
