Hello Rich, Thank you for posting your tune! I hadn't checked out Andy Leftwich on YouTube and am now happy I have. I enjoyed seeing and hearing this one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miz5DfSnfFQHe has got a great track in RealTracks Set 249: Old Time Folk. Fiddle, Soloist CelticReelAndy Ev16 110, definitely worth a listen! Pauline PG Music Team

Thanks for listening J&B. Yes, Andy has a great sound and plays well. It is a refreshing approach to violin and difficult to master but he makes it sound easy.

Now, that's what I call fiddlin' around!! I've always loved strings. This is really well put together. I hear it as a movie score. Good stuff! Take care. Greg

Bob,
Thank you for listening. These RealTracks work great if you give them a chord progression that leaves room for them to develop. At least that is what I tried to do with this one.

Greg,
It does have a movie score feel to it now that I listen to it in that vein. It did reflect a mood that I was feeling when I arranged it and movie music is really about moods. My favorite was "Two For the Raod" and Mancini (and I am certainly not him) did a great job with that theme which carried through the entire movie.
