Hihi, take a break and check out some more FFXIV fiddling: https://youtu.be/G64Z8VFMx9c?si=vEXhujcivsLuG02b #ffixv #finalfantasy #fiddling #videogames #gaming

…and here’s me remembering that time I helped someone fit Debian onto their 100MB drive at a Linux Installfest back in 1998 🤦.

The word is Old

#NatalieMacMaster “In My Hands” from In My Hands, 1999

Lyrics:
Through your voice I hear your stories
And in these hands they become my own
And the old times and old memories
Call to life beneath my bow

Natalie MacMaster had a thriving performing and recording career of traditional #Celtic #fiddling when she dropped this seemingly incongruous #TripHop flavored, #turntablist-tinged #TonePoem onto her sixth album,in fact choosing it to open the album and to provide its title. But it only takes a moment to realize that this makes perfect lyrical sense; it’s a love song…to her fiddle (and under a minute for the beloved’s answer on the track).

Why did this countrified niche-star take such a turn in style - an attempt to reach a younger, wider audience? Perhaps she saw opportunity after cousin and fellow #CapeBreton fiddler #AshleyMacIsaac's "Sleepy Maggie" hit modern radio. But turn she did, making the old new.

Lilting #Fiddle (my #fiddling blog) has moved to become part of my main domain, while still maintaining its own #blog identity. Read about it here!

I enjoyed the #CelticMusic stage for brief time after my shift. Some great #fiddling #performers came to entertain the crowds at Victoria Highlands Games.

The association is holding their next big event on July 1st on grounds of Craigflower Manor.

@JaneHadley What do you want to read about or plan to write about? The theory is that an #introduction page or two with those topics as hashtagged keywords will lead folks to you. So far, I'm not finding much regional #journalism in #BlueRidge #Appalachia where I live, but a little about #fiddling, #banjos, #mandolins, #oldtimemusic, #oldtimeradio and other things I'm interested in.

Hey hey fiddle players, anyone done any online learning and enjoyed it? Something with beginner to intermediate levels. I'm pretty open to anything, it could be lessons with a teacher over Zoom or a whole program/school. I have a session to go to once a month now, and I'm excited to see if I can get a few jigs back in my fingers (am told to start with The Butterfly!). 🎻

"Charlie, He's a Good Old Man" and "Angelina Baker" are almost exactly the same song I am thinking now. #fiddling I started playing the former and then it seemed like I was playing the latter, now I need to check if there's any difference between them...
