This time I tuned the fiddle. I am still using the Green fiddle and the Martin.

I am probably fiddle retarded, but I have always enjoyed tunes like "Mississippi Sawyer", "Flop Eared Mule", "Ragtime Annie", etc.. They really make me tap my foot. Listeners seem to favor simple tunes with a good rhythm and simple melody.

As I good better playing the fiddle, I started playing harder material. But I smile every time I play one of those tunes.

You've put me to thinkin, Janet. What is it about old time fiddlers that makes it fun to listen to? I think its the "lilt". We know sometimes their tone and intoneation is way off, but we like it and it keeps out attention.

I sent this and another file to my daughter. She played it for the "girls", my grand daughters. Evidently they danced and danced and danced. This is what I am after, someone to tap their feet, clap their hands, or dance a jig.

Thanks for the word....
