First outing of CW group
My new musical group of Civil War reenactors, the Black River Boys, had our first outing yesterday at a spring training muster. We have been practicing together for about two months and have about 20 tunes under our belts. They are all period tunes by Steven Foster, Henry Clay, George Work and others of the CW era. We had hoped that our playing would encourage others to join in as was very common around the campfires of both armies. Singing was one of the most common activities enjoyed by everyo… Continue

Of greatest interest to me is when to play a double stop, when and why that is appropriate whether theoretically proper or just from the heart. I got a long way to go ... and all of you posting your music helps so much. I hope I have the courage soon, and the gear back together!
Lorena:
The tone on that instrument is like velvet, reminds me of a viola I once knew.
Cincinnati:
Sparkling tone, upfront mix for the fiddle, lots of steel in the sound, wonderful pulse. I hear the double stop at the cadence and turn-around, I'm just becoming familiar with the "launch" as well, the starting of a tune. Great bow work in the pulse, like a merry-go-round or the fair. And again, the double-stop on the cadence.
Maple:
A clear launch into the tune! Yes, I'm catching on. Again, nice tone in the mids and lows, like a viola. Nice dancy tune. Great kick at the end, tasty.
Neil Gow's Lament:
Man, that fiddle has tone for days, there's tears there. And the double stops at the cadence ... and at 1:16 the double stops as a phrase, standing alone as a phrase ... I like the close micing on this mix.
Old Red River:
She's swollen in my hometown right now for sure!
Thanks for sharing your music and performance with Fiddle World!
