I think a lot of these old fiddle tunes were played at this tempo. Just picture groups of people dancing to this music 150 years ago. They wouldn't have been dancing modern clogging style but more like a waltz with partners spinning around the floor. The breakneck speed music that is played now is more of a modern thing. How do I know this? I just slept at a Holiday Inn Express,.
So, in my middle school (age 11-13) we were given the choice between learning a musical instrument or joining the chorus. Participation required. I chose to sing. But every time I watch something like this, I wish I’d learned to play instead.
Great how you kepp so much movement going in this laid-back ramble. Very engaging tone, no speed need here. I know a bunch of teenagers around here will fiddle this tune for half the summer.
This and Bile 'em cabbage down, with all of your rhythm and ornaments are my 2 favs. Does your patreon page teach the ornaments? I dig your videos! Even if you're a nut

Heck, don't just picture it, *be* it. We do this all the time! Google up a "contra-dance" in your area, and go!
@@billcard7074 I've been to a few out east. Always a great time.
wonderful
Bless your heart for respecting the tune, rather than using it to showcase your chops. By my definition, this is virtuosity.
Agree! :D
Great fiddlin!!
Loved your rendition and groove on this tune. Such a pleasure to listen to. Hard to keep my feet still. I might try my feet at stepdancing to it.
thanks so much!
That's one happy tune! I never get tired of hearing the way you play it. Thanks
Yup I just needed my pony fix. Now i can get out my fiddle cause I know what I wanna sound like. I guess I posted the last mesg too. Lol I'm an addict
Really appreciate a non death-metal tempo so I can learn this damn thing lol. Well done man.
beautiful playing!
thanks so much!
I LOVE it! You should break it down and teach it to us lesser thans! Pleeeeze.
Love playing this! Really enjoyed your variations, and the nice tempo... made me like it more! :D
Great playing! Love the moderate tempo.

It's never too late!

But what’s really weird is I don’t remember posting here, or even watching. Got a little brain injury, me.
Great phrasing and variations! Thanks, man!
wow!
thanks!

Love that Spotted Pony! Bravo Andy!!
Very nice version and playing.
Great. Nice pace and the low octave making good use of that 5 string. Not my usual genre but I'll learn this one. Cheers!
So fun . Just played along with you on my bouzouki
