I am trying out the new bowing techniques that Eric Sprado taught me.

Here are the lyrics of the Welsh song.

The ash grove how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The wind through it playing has language for me.
Whenever the light through its branches is breaking,
A host of kind faces is gazing at me.
The friends from my childhood again are before me
Each step brings a memory as freely I roam.
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o’er me
The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.
Down yonder green meadow where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively roam
Or in the bright noon tide in solitude wander
Amid the dark spaces of that lonely ash grove.
‘Twas there while the black bird was cheerfully singing
I first met my dear one the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the blue bells were springing
The ash grove, the ash grove that sheltered my home.
My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness;
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer.
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here.
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me;
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome,
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home.

Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for. Tell her all Horner sound like that and that you know where there is a golden one that could have your name on it first thing Monday.

Ok, you've heard of MAS, BAS, and the infamous GAS that guitar pickers get from time to time, I never hear anyone here talk about FAS or Fiddle Acquisition Syndrome. Just tell her you have FAS and see what happens.
