I've been on a strict regimine of 5 new tunes a week in preparation for
Irish Arts Week in July. Scott's been schooling me in the
Two or More Polkas, a reel, a Wedding Jig and another jig that goes with it. (Last week.) This week, it's been that tune that starts on an B and E, the tune that goes with it, and 2 others ones that he taught me last night and I may have forgotten. I'm doing a pretty good job at picking them up, by ear, but I usually forget them the next day, and remember them again the 3rd. Should I bring my mandolin or my violin with me to Orlando? I can play a lot more, and much faster on my violin than I can on the mandolin, but my mandolin cases has fun bumper stickers. Luckily, I'm taking the intermediate violin and beginner mandolin courses.
