I have made 3 attempts to upload Leather Britches today, but they all failed.
2 attempts for the LB folder, and one for "the open space".
Anybody knows if there are troubles with the site?

I had no problem uploading my poor effort Søren.Originally Posted by (sjusk @ Nov. 28 2004, 13:23)
Such a simple tune, but I had no end of problems with it. I've been leaving trying to record it till I felt reasonably comfortable with it, but I've run out of time, so here it is. I couldn't get at all relaxed while recording, hence the proliferation of squeaks.

I have to agree - add my kudos to Ken! There is an ease and flow to your sound that I know I envy. What do you use for a pick, if I may ask? Congrats on an awesome product!
Thanks for the kind words. I have been using the pink Dunlop picks (1.14mm)ever since John Reischman recommended them when I met him some 15 years ago. I think they are made of delrin. He probably has some of the best tone you will ever hear from a mandolin.
fiddlegit,
just curious - are you a mandolin player as well as a fiddle player? #I don't think I've heard you pick a tune yet! #
But, good job on the fiddlin!
Alan
No Alan, I've never tried #mandolin, just fiddle and guitar. I keep thinking I must get a mandolin, specially as I'm a big Bill Monroe fan, but I don't really want to add another instrument to my list of failures. #
But thanks for your kind words anyway.

Hey Roger, you´re being much too humble. I really like your oldtimish way of fiddling; oldtime is "Folk"! (like you and me and the rest of this gang). I like your sense of humour too - dry and very British. Please keep both the fiddlin´ and the humour streaming!
I have done a recording of Leather Britches, but I just can´t upload. I´ve tried about six or seven times, but some mysterious cyber-elf has nested in my computer...hmmm.
Ken and Miller, I enjoy your recordings very much; you are both so talented with music - and..hooweee...does it show!
(I am almost glad my upload failed. Imagine the sound of 2 rusty tin-cans whirling about in a kitchen-blender at 200 rpm).
Thanks to everybody uploading LB. I enjoyed them all!
Søren
fiddlegit. i doubt you'd fail at trying the mandolin!
Alan
I uploaded my recording of Leather britches, my timing is completely off, I couldn't even back-up on it because it was too bad but I've done several attempts to record it so I just won't do it again! At least not right now.
Susi,
Your version of Leather britches is good. When are we going to hear you on the fiddle?
--rob
Rob is right Susi, It's nowhere near as bad as you think. You're as bad as me for putting yourself down, we must stop that!
I'm also looking forward to hearing you fiddle...its lonesome being the only one.

Well, I've been hanging out at the cafe for while but I just discovered this group the other day. Excellent work everyone. I haven't had time to work it out on the mandolin, but I did get it down pretty good on the fiddle. I couldn't upload the file to the yahoo group, it was timing out, but I did upload it to my website.
Leather Britches - Fiddle
Enjoy, I didn't want fiddlegit to think he was the only one with fiddle as his main instrument...
Mark
Nice fiddling Mark. That's how it should be done!
Roger - fiddlegit
Nice job Mark!!!
And thanks boys for your nice comments. Yeah, I'm very hard on myself, I know...my boyfriend is trying comforting me by saying that actually I've improved on the fiddle very fast and that I can't improve on everything at the same time. And he's right. So now I'm going to stop being so hard on myself (and how many times will I say this here??). Haha. I'm a hopeless case.
And when are you going to hear me on the fiddle? Pretty soon I hope. I may do something at the Misc musings.
mark,
very nice work!! love the mix of double-stops! great groove and the tone is just perfect to my amateur ears. rock-solid timing, too. thanks alot for the upload. would love to hear more from fiddlers . . .
