#NowPlaying - clinging desperately to (& savoring) these last pre-gross nights before sealing in with AC for the summer, aided currently by the calming #fiddle drones of mike gangloff's newish "april is passing" https://vhfrecords.bandcamp.com/album/april-is-passing @vinylrecords #acoustic #drone

Here's a ragtime fiddle tune, for no particular reason:

#Putin Played #Trump Like a #Fiddle—Now #Ukraine Pays the Price

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—Putin is playing chess while Trump barely knows the rules of checkers.

Saturday was World Fiddle Day, so my friends and I attended a cèilidh.

1/ If you love #FolkMusic - #CelticMusic or #Bluegrass you’re going to love Nordic Folk - if you’re not already in to it… #Scandinavian fiddle is awesome. This tune had my feet tapping. To paraphrase an old saying: Great fiddle music needs to win your ears, your heart, and your feet… #fiddle #FiddleTunes

Closest thing to a modern day instrumental #Scottish anthem I’ve heard since Dougie MacLean’s Caledonia, this is… #CelticMusic #Music #FolkMusic #ScottishMusic #MusicVideo #Fiddle

My name is Karl and this is my #introduction. I've just joined courtesy of installing #Vivaldi browser and finding a pointer to here. With everything that's going on in the world I am less inclined to be connected to Facebook, Instagram and the like, or to share my data so widely. I've reduced my exposure... Deleting other social media apps - although not *everything* yet - Starting here; Setting up a #blog at https://gentlemenjoyfully.com (that name was the random name given to my Gravatar homepage). I just liked it and thought perhaps it could inspire a way of looking at things, so I adopted it for my blog page.

I work in technical sales for #RedHat an IT #Software company, and in my spare time I like to play and sing. I play #fiddle, #guitar(s) and accordion.. though mostly fiddle. I also love #dogs, and #walking in the #countryside, and #ClassicCars and #Motorcycles. To stay #healthy I like #running, #walking and doing #yoga mostly.

"You're So Pretty When You Cry" - a newly released lil old-timey country song I recorded as a duet with my friend Shannon Hynes.
Please give it a spin/add to a playlist

Musical Interlude: One of the artists I saw this past weekend at the Old Time Music Festival was Jamie Fox (one x), an Indigenous fiddler from Montana, who taught us all a bit about the Old Time Music tradition in Indigenous communities...I mean, they absorbed a lot from us musically as well. She identifies as Métis, meaning a mixture of European and Indigenous cultures and ancestry, although here in the US she's identified as a certain tribe by the government.

Anyway, here's a nice video where she introduces herself and performs a few pieces. Listen and learn.

"White Buffalo," "Cut Knife Hill," and "Empty Canoe," performed by Jamie Fox.

Listening to this while making a sandwich, I couldn’t help starting to dance. It’s Tom Moore and Archie Moss’s “Pop One”.

Which means that for the first time in aages it is #TuneswapTuesday - has anyone else got a #FolkTune they’d like to share?
