Great session tonight !

June 28, 2006 at 3:40 AM

Had a great session tonight with the fiddle group. We've been going over tunes that we're going to be playing for the railroad "gig" next weekend. There was an older woman who was there just to listen..she's a violin teacher and a music director for some local school. I was busy playing away having a good time with everyone and I was very encouraged to overhear her complimenting my playing to one of the other ladies there. I had noticed out of the corner of my eye that she had been watching me as I played. There were about 12 of us there tonight so I thought it cool that I was so noticed.

I'm quite sure that it's the violin more than it is me...lol..it really has a beautiful sound....I've been blessed to have fallen into such a nice old instrument....players like me need all the help we can get ! :-D

Anyway, a very encouraging and just plain fun evening all in all !
