LOL! I blew the last note something terrible! But the rest of the song is passable, at least for me. I'm dating this so in a few months I can revisit it and have something to compare with. 8-1-08

Just a demo for a fiddle for sale. The recording isn't the best, just a simple cheezy computer microphone, so the volume level is kinda low. The playing is not wonderful since this fiddle is shrimpy and I couldn't get a shoulder rest to stay on, causing some instability and uncharacteristic left hand noise, but at least it gives you an idea of how this fiddle sounds. It's also closer to a classical setup, rather than the fiddle setup I'm used to. Given all that, the fiddle itself sounds pretty decent for what it is, at least to my ears.

Okay, so I sound less awful. Look Ma, no squeaks! Well, maybe just one or two . . . better though. This is adapted from the version the Druckenmillers have on their CD, and they attribute their version to Dave Bing.

My friend Suze and I wrote this. She's playing guitar and singing lead, I sing harmonies. I wrote the lyrics, she wrote the music. We had the studio time booked and I came down with bronchitis two days before. So I asked Bill to turn my volume down so you couldn't hear my frog croak voice. And I'm working on a fiddle part for it. This was recorded before I even took up the fiddle.
