Another violinist sent this to me today. We agreed we hadn’t thought much about Hot Cross Buns being an actual food item. Happy Easter! 😋🎻

OK, Once I got past the "eye candy factor" (which,believe me, took awhile🫤) I noticed the oldest daughter's bow hold . Not sure if all French Canadian Quebecois fiddlers hold their bows like this or not. She's definately got her own thing going on here.ttps://youtu.be/AF3TgdBIGMk?si=sPnsvlBBNHdHNoIq

St Paddy's came up quick this year! How about a virtual jam session and sheet music swap? Feel free to drop your Irish videos or sheet music in the comments of this thread. I know I have several gems I can dig up over the weekend and share with you all.... Irish fiddle style is what first got me into this crazy instrument we all love. Sláinte

I was just sharing this oldie-but-goodie blooper video over at Patreon and it sparked me to start a holiday tune share here on the main group feed. If you have a holiday tune you've been practicing please set up by your Christmas tree, throw on a hat, and give it a spin! Mistakes and works in progress welcome. While the outside world may seem to define us by our mistakes and flaws, this is a rare online living room where we all completely understand what all goes into playing a violin tune. Our ears are different at this point and we can applaud each other for what parts are going right. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my inner hot violinist to yours! xo, Jenny

It’s Spring in Austin Texas which means a little bit of everything. Rain, hot, cool breeze… My friend and bandmate Jay used to say, “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, just wait 15 minutes.” Today is rainy with just a peek of sun trying to make its way out from behind the clouds this afternoon. How about where you are? Do we have anyone on the other hemisphere where it’s not even Spring?? I’m wondering who can clock in at the most extreme temps. I’m at 78 degrees F, which I’m guessing is right in the middle. Please drop your temps in the comments and let’s see who it literally THE hottest violinist today. ☺️
