Another old timey public performance

I’ve posted before about the group Fiddle Faddle that I’m privileged to be a member of. Yesterday we had a couple of sets on the Bushman’s stage at the Murwillumbah show. It’s quite a lively show with lots of rides, animals, and all the arts, crafts, baking goods and such you expect in a country show.

We had 2 sets, the first about 30 minutes and the second about 45 minutes long, here’s a short video starring my granddaughter joining in with the fun

Hi Tony,

I would have loved to have been there both playing and/or only as a visitor I would also have been more than satisfied :partying_face: :sunglasses:, too bad the video is so terribly short :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Greetings and thanks for the happy vibes :sunglasses:

It’s always a hoot with that group. Lots of enthusiastic people and some really talented musicians mixed in with the lot of us.

Here’s a much longer video of us performing at the Murwillumbah show

My good friend Leonie is up the front playing her dulcimer. I’ve got a very similar dulcimer and am waiting for a lesson from her on how to play it.

That really great stuff, Tony! :smiley:

Sounds amazing and looks like a lot of fun. Bet the folks listening to you were having a good time. :slight_smile:

Dulcimers are interesting territory to discover - lots of fun with it! Some day I also want to give it a try.

Cheers - Lisa

The Murwillumbah show is a country show and was quite busy / buzzy. Lots of familys, kids and couples. There were times we had quite a crowd in front of us, our bass player laughed with us at rehearsal as he got recognized on the street several days later. Fame!!!

Yeah, the dulcimer should be straight forward. Open D tuning. I’m too lazy to learn it on my own, so leaning on my friend :smiley:
