Great performance folks. Love the way you dig into the string, Patti.

What is the difference between the violin and the fiddle violin has strings fiddle has music

[@AVToth]

I grew up hearing this, learning to waltz to this. I nearly wrecked my car one day because of it. I was on my way to work and a new song came on the country station I was listening to. It sounded so familiar, I kept thinking, I've heard this somewhere. The radio was playing TG Shepard "Last Cheaters Waltz". It dawned on me it was Westphalia Waltz. Nooooooooooo.

One of my favotrites!

[@carolmccollum360]

wish I were there at Camp Calvin!!!!

[@Dan_Frechette_Songwriter]

PERFECTO!

[@northcountryhermit5057]

Nice. Very individualistic! It's got elements of Texas Swing, lots of upbowing...Hmmm...Cape Breton style perhaps? Slides, doublestops and trills...WOW!! I'm studying...TY- subscribed!

[@PattiKusturokOfficial]

Northcountry Hermit thanks for the kind words. I’m a Canadian fiddler from Manitoba and play for lots of old time dances. No Cape Breton style here but I’m definitely a fan. :) I grew up listening to Don Messer, Graham Townsend, Reg Bouvette, and Andy Dejarlis.
