Meandering Melodies
Busking!
Segovia’s Aqueduct (J. Ph. Rameau’s Gavotte)
The Writer’s Corner in Segovia (J. Ph. Rameau’s Gavotte)

So, you’re frugal and the stingy airplane only allows you to bring two bags. Of course one of them has to be the violin! (I may or may not have pretended to be pregnant and hid another bag under my shirt…) Anyways, there is so much more adventure in life when you bring along that musical companion. I played in bars, busked, held shows for friends, and even joined a Scottish fiddler group in Edinburgh. Music brings us all so much joy, I cannot imagine life without it.[Disclaimer: I do not identify as a professional violinist. I do teach lessons, but do not perform. So, sorry if my videos aren’t “perfect” you nuisances with perfect pitch. Enjoy these videos, they’re just for fun and to encourage others to busk!]
Fiddler on the Roof Moments
Yes, I climbed the roof just to play violin. Why not? (“A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman, featuring little Dani)
