First BLOG as a violin Polliwog

February 6, 2008 at 4:37 PM

This is it. I am officially launching myself into the violin community. I can make a sound out of this instrument that does not require earplugs so I think that i can associate with the basement crowd now.
My first public performance was at a friend's "Irish Party." I played My Wild Irish Rose and Si Bheag, Si Mhor. Next I played at a Thanksgiving gathering of 3 and played a variety of Christmas Carols with a piano and a bowed psaltry. I guess that could have been called a little trio. Such a thrill.
I am finishing up my second year of study and if my teacher can stand it I will push forward on year 3.
