Chris - exactly what I'm considering. Manolin tuned same as violin and not enough separation, but with a viola and a mandolin - this duo proves my point methinks.
It’s Mean Soybean, I played for 8 years, from 9 - 18, and I was decent. Not like her though. It’s taken me two years to get my fingers back to where I’m beginning to be happy with it again. I’ve been playing the guitar for over 30 years in the mean time. Let that sink in.
The moments of 3 part full triad harmony are like special treats! Made more special by not being uniform the whole time. I guess the classical music rules would say this is "wrong." So glad this kind of music knows better than to worry about that!
It's a very characteristic syncopation of old-time music. Straight 4/4 meter, "square" tune (i.e., 32 bars), but very often the first beat of a phrase is played one beat early (the gut-bump). Yeah, I like it much better that way too! :-)
Saw this a while ago, and I've come back to it at least once a week after that first viewing. It's perfect! I know I'm 5 years late, but extremely well done!
I haven't touched my viola in years. It's just been sitting in my closet with a broken string gathering dust. Same for my brother's violin. I've been learning bagpipes for the last few years and forgot how nice a good fiddle could sound. I think I'm going to pick it up again. Thanks.
I stand corrected. In my tradition, (classical music), syncopation can displace a beat, but cannot drop it. Whatever it is, though, I certainly do like it. And your joi de vivre comes through on every beat. This is a wonderful video.
This version is also in 4/4. It's the syncopation you're feeling, which definitely gives it a different flavor from the "straighter" performances you'll find elsewhere. Great version!
Tapping your foot to 7/8 is a special experience, too. I looked for other versions of this, and most of them are 4/4, which I now find really boring. This one has that gut-bumping pull at the end of the bar. Nice.
How much do you charge for playing at my wedding? This duette is the closest thing that I' ve heard that represent my feelings for my love. And I whant to share that feeling with her, and all our families and friends. Truly beautiful

I'm just gonna leave this here so someone likes or comments and reminds me of this gem 😊
Worth remembering
This is the kind of music that feeds my soul.
Watched this 10000 times. I WILL LEARN IT!
This could go on forever.
Old time music needs more violas!
Definitely agree with you there!!!
The more I hear this kid, the more I think the same
Cellos too!

This is like waking up on a sunny Sunday morning
Beautiful sound! I love the sound the viola and violin put off together.
I will never tire of this rendition of a classic....
Wonderful - what a beautiful sound.
Fantastic
You are amazing!
What a huge sound! Love it!
I'm a viola player and I was looking for some challenging songs and I like this one. I'm only in 7th grade so it's a little challenging at that speed
its not a journey without a challenge :)
True
Great sound...:)
FANTASTIC!!! Foot stomping FUN!!!
You and Annie should do more videos together.
This is just amazing.
I've watched it more than 20 times, im not kidding.
I bought a Violin because of this Video hahaha..... i sound terrible, but practice makes.....less terrible..... :D love this video x
Good for you!
How is it going now?
I asked too many people who started the violin and their comment took more 1 year but they dont answer probably because the left the violin
It’s

That's great! Practice makes permanent, and keep it up and you may become a world rebound fiddler. Hows it coming along now?
This is now my favorite rendition of this, ever.
Luke gives up his somber gaze at 1:35 when Annie kicks it up a bit.
Roger Kobeska who wouldn't fall in love with that playing.
Don' cha love how she makes him smile. Makes me smile too....both her added little punch there and his reaction.

Two of my favorite players to watch and hear: Luke and Annie so great!
Miss you, Erik!
That end smile is sooooo cute - what a sweet couple (aside from their mastery!)
So amazing!
LOVE the viola range and the harmony! Great arrangement, you two!
absolute banger
Words can't express how much I love this duet! Old-time viola deserved to be the Next Big Thing.
--Ted Green
THAT IS AMAZING.
Such a sweet waltz. I hope it enters the old-time lexicon more and more.
FABULOUS> Love the look on his face when she double times it. Very talented!!!
Yeah, that is a great moment!
When he smiles at approx 1:34 min. mark.
I’ve begun playing this from listening to it. Not quite there yet but coming along. Great music
How about now? Got it?😊
So beautiful I cried. Thank you!
I’ll never get tired of this video!
i could be playing this video all day long and not get tired of it... so good that it gave me chills

Absolutely gorgeous sounding, I play fiddle and I'd love to be accompanied by a viola!
Annie is just amazing, wish I could play like her.

It sounds like blue grass to me and it sounds great !
