If you are still collecting possible suggestions: Itzikel. It’s very beautiful, I notice I hold my breath sometimes while listening to it.

Sounds good, Khelms. Agreed on Kevin’s approach. He truly values the stories behind the music as much as the music.

That’s fantastic Casey. I’ve steered clear of that tune for the most part because it was difficult to pick apart for me. I’m excited to have guidance and hear a bit about the tune from Kevin Burke. I love that he spends a moment in the beginning explaining a bit about the tune before getting started.

Hi, KHelms.

Good news – Kevin recorded a lesson on that tune during his last session. I’ll bump that one up on the production list…stay tuned…

Wow, I think I missed this lovely post. Thank you Casey and Niall, beautiful playing and what a nice treat to hear two five strings singing together. Best Ro

Sounds good Casey, looking forward to that, and yes I wish you would record some harmony to this as well.
Thanks

Thank-you. I love the waltz that you wrote sometime ago, it modulated to b flat I think (or F M?). Could I play that, or is it “not old enough?” Thanks, M

Thank-you!

Yep, Ted. He did record a different performance and lesson tutorials for the melody…I may have to record a lesson teaching some of the harmony parts I was playing…good stuff!!

Hi again, Daross.

That’s a fun tune…it feels very Canadian to me…I might run that one by Patti for her next session…we’re looking at having her return to the studio later this year to record a bunch more lessons.

Thx for the heads up!

Maybe he should have taught this version, just sayin, super!

Hi, Martha.

Jerusalem Ridge is in Am…I might look at a waltz in the key of C to give the round a bit of a lift…Country Waltz and Roxanne’s are two good old-time choices…

Or you might go with a G key waltz…maybe Westphalia?

Best of luck!!

Hi Martha, I agree with UNCLEATED on Amelia’s Waltz. Great tune that covers the entire fingerboard in 1st position and not played much in contests that I’ve heard. Have fun its a lovely tune. Best Roland

Amelia’s Waltz is quite nice, and not to hard to play!
