Lament (two violins & guitar)

This is an original, written in 2003 for two violins and guitar. The instruments are my German violin, a second German violin that I call "The Schatzig violin," which dates from around 1900, plus or minus,and a finger picked Martin D28.

Arkansas Traveler -Cook in the Kitchen

fiddlepogo — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:43:00 CST

Yup, an Old Time tune AND an Irish jig. Not really a medley, I'm just playing Arkansas Traveler once through to establish that, yes indeed, it IS me!!! Cook in the Kitchen is my favorite Irish jig, so I play it a lot. Not sure if I could switch styles as easily to any other Irish tune. And I'm not sure if this attempt qualifies as Irish Trad (I doubt it, actually) or will be derided as "Celtic". But I tried!!! Same recording setup as before with the two Naiant X-Qs, no effects.

Ashokan Farewell for Two

Jay Ungar — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 08:58:00 CST

One of my first attempts at multi-track recording. Playing in unison is difficult when you're listening to the other part through an earphone and don't have the body language of another partner to go by!

Clarinet Polka

KL7IGB — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:41:00 CST

The German violin backed by the Goya G10. I think this is now in the public domain. If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please let me know.

An old Irish hymn, and one of my all time favorites. This and the Cabri Waltz were recorded at my father's home on a mini disc while we were there for his 80th birthday party. Some bloopers and blunders in it...oh well..

Our National Anthem ... with Dixie too. My great grandfather on dads side was union......my great grandfather on moms side was confederate. Maybe thats why mom & dad had their own "CIVAL" wars. ( lol ).

Fiddlescratcher — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:27:00 CST

Coleman's March

corinnasmithmusic — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 18:49:00 CST

a late-night jam... we took what I learned as an old-time banjo tune (which was originally an Irish polka) and jammed over it-- definitely out of tradition, I know, but it was fun anyhow!
