Maricello inspired me again.
Day 84 (12th week) - Video of my attempt to play this morning from memory the Scottish Reel "Flowers of Edinburgh". I decided to do it "song style". Usual problems with bowing and intonation.
Anyway, I'm off to Baltimore tomorrow morn, and then its full-time school after Labor Day. Whee...
Boring stats:
8/13M - Read Schroeder 17, Scales A F#m, Bow exercises

Great start on Flowers. One of these days, I'll post a version of it in the dotted rhythm, as I am working on it in that form with a fiddler friend. I do like the "song style" and played it that way tonight with the fiddlers, who are, fortunately flexible about how they play it.
