Foolishly Putting It Out There ...

... Warts and All

I have been dithering about doing this since I taped these clips several days ago, but here we go — two clips of me playing the fiddle — warts and all. I'm still a beginner who makes lots of mistakes — lot of mistakes — so beware. But what the heck: I've been mentioning my trials on this blog for a few years now, and since we have a vidcam on the computer these days (for Skype-ing), it's easy enough to take a clip and upload it. As you will see, I have trouble getting into a tune, but it goes somewhat better (only somewhat mind you — all is relative) once I get going. I have included a verbal apology in the first clip; Cuppa wanted me to take it out, but I always think that mistakes are made less somehow if one acknowledges them. I want you to know that at least I know that I make them and am not living in a tone deaf fool's paradise. I just can't seem to do anything about the slipups — unfortunately. :)
