Jolly Up
Purchased a left-handed Violin recently shipped from China -  my hardest challenge so far. This is my first recording with it, quite pleased with the result, but I need another year or so solid practice before I get it to sound the way I want. One of my boss's favourite sayings is 'Jolly Up', meaning take the staff out and have a good laugh.

I would love taka to do the violin part, the first part of the melody is quick (that's where the guitar is only playing the lead), I even struggled with the guitar...lol, so playing that part on the violin would be extremely challenging for me.
The Violin is a beautiful instrument, as I improve I hope to be able to put more feel into it, that's when it will come to life....I hope. Just keeping my bow at the optimum section, which is in between the bridge and the fingerboard is hard enough, even if you wander 1 cm either way, the sound thins out, and getting you fingers in the right position. I know it sounds as though I'm winging, but I'm really enjoying the challenge. not bad for a 50 year old git...eh...lol

Thanks M

Very enjoyable and agreeable piece of music.
50 year old git is doing real good!
For a first time this is quite something...you're becoming a right Prince with your ability to play any instrument you lay your hands on.
We'll have to start spamming Taka to get him to come back and collab .... Swordy on the horns...can I do the tambourine?
