You need good fiddlesticks to do it properly.
That is why most people fail and when they find out why say “oh, fiddlesticks”.

I thought about polishing her Ports to make the compression flow faster but I was out of mechanics rouge. Now I'm looking at a GRAVE-ly so she can rest in peace.

NYC w/o power ? Isn't that what the greenies want , they probably saved enough carbon to make up for the new little carbon pitter patters .

I see Naw Lens is fixing to get swamped again .......... Damned greenies saving the world just in time to wash it away .......

You forgot LUP to go with the CUP , PSI and BAR ....... Rem Nitro Steel ammo is marked 1050 BAR on the cases which is roughly 15,000 psi and 14,000 LUP which comes to 12,000 CUP in some cases ........

Can you string a violin backwards so a lefty can fine motor skill finger it while fiddling around ?
One string at a time from the center out , alternate sides , tuning as you go so as not to upset the neck body tension .

The nonparticipation has been duely noted and you'll be expected to step up your ............... Nevermind ..... I got no room to say nothing with my 1% participating .

if you flip the strings around.. over? you also have to change the little chin rest thing a fiddler doesn't put his chin on.

The really good violinists just use a silk hanky but usually they also hold a cup of tea funny. Not like the tank crews I met in Germany from the 3 RTR (Royal Tank Regiment) . Those fellers drank tea out of metal cups.

Violin is played chin down , fiddle is played chin off ......... Kind of like bass fiddle and cello standing vs sitting .

She is a tremendously talented musician. A lot of energy, I enjoy listening to her while I’m working.

I love that song, Hallelujah.....but I don't see the reason to do it in a subway where the train noise messes
it up. I guess she thinks that is cool somehow. Great fiddle work, though.

Here is, IMO, the best rendition of that song I have ever heard.


Unfortunately, after a HS friend pointed me to this video/song, went looking for more of Allison Crowe's
work and found a number of really WONDERFUL Christmas songs. Then I ran into her own songs.....:oops:o_O:(
As a songwriter she is an excellent singer. Fantastic voice, but whoo-eee, I don't appreciate her own songs
or tunes.
