    New Fiddlin Video

    Here is a very recent video of my orchestra playing some real old time country hillbilly fiddlin music. Here we are seen playing a piece by the granddaddy of country fiddle music Ludwig Van Beethoven. This was our rendition of "Beethoven's 5th Symphony Mvt. 1" played at our recent Oct 20th Fall Concert. . How much more country fiddlin can you get ?

    BTW if you are looking for me I am towards the far left hand side of the stage near the back and to the left hand side of the clarinet player.

    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    You mean last chair in the 2nd fiddle section? JK, nice group. You folks have that chemistry that many collections of musicians do not have. I think you found a nice home. Good job.

    Very Nice. Dont take this the wrong way but assuming the camera switching was performed live, was the camera op on speed or someting? avg is about 2.5 seconds per shot. Had fun trying to stop the vid long enough to find you...lol. Very good performance enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Yeah, several people have complained about that. I might bring it up as a suggestion for future videos, namely to dwell longer and not switch scenes so fast. In any event thanks for the complements.

    Yes. I usually don't know where I am going to end up positioned. Due to tight space on stage the first violins were down in front of the stage and the 2nd's sort of got squished into single file on stage.. We are generally not assigned seats/ During the dress rehearsal a few days before I ended up all the way in front but in the concert I ended up in the back next to my friend who is on clarinet. Thanks for the complements on the performance. We eventually plan to play the entire symphony.
