Today I made a MakerTube account and uploaded one video to try it out. I 've only used YouTube for my videos before, so I'd appreciate any advice about settings, description content, etc., before I add anything more.
Thanks!

I write fiddle tunes and other short musical pieces. Sometimes it takes a long time to get a tune the way I want it, and by then it's been through my head so many times I don't want to think about it for a while. So, it's rewarding, after I post the sheet music, if someone takes the time to learn to play it and then reports back that they enjoyed it. It makes the effort worthwhile.

My friend Ron Fisher accompanied me with his Norman guitar while I played "Welkin Walk" on my mandolin.
There's sheet music for the tune at the end.

@ira waltzes come pretty easily for violin players - Amelia by Bob McQuillen and Ashokan Farewell (used in the Ken Burnsʼ Civil War show) Anything youʼre familiar with: I worked up technique when I started playing melody on the autoharp by learning Simple Gifts (song, theme in Appalachian Spring) from Meadowlark, Iʼd suggest O Come Little Children this month #fiddletunes #music

A traditional Shetland fiddle tune that I like, "Willafjord", has an unusual rhythm, so I composed a tune called "Longworth Bridge" to go with it, and my friend Ron helped me record it:
Here's Willafjord:

The Waltz of Two Hearts
I composed this years ago but never recorded it until now. A good chance to use my octave mandolin, which often gathers dust since the mandolin orchestra shut down before the pandemic.

1/ If you love #FolkMusic - #CelticMusic or #Bluegrass you’re going to love Nordic Folk - if you’re not already in to it… #Scandinavian fiddle is awesome. This tune had my feet tapping. To paraphrase an old saying: Great fiddle music needs to win your ears, your heart, and your feet… #fiddle #FiddleTunes 🧵

I attended the Appalachian String Band Festival in West Virginia. You could walk through the park and stop at any of the dozens of old time fiddle.banjo/guitar jams going on at any one time. For ten days and nights.

Spent an inordinate amount of time today contemplating this 1928 record, "Sal, Let Me Chaw Your Rosin," & the same tune under the names "Hog Eye" (Pope's Arkansas Mountaineers, also 1928), & "Sally in the Garden." Is it also "Jump Jim Crow," the song that launched blackface minstrelsy 100 years earlier? And a sea chantey, "Hog Eye Man," maybe from a (19th century or earlier) black work song on the Mississippi
