Second try. I'm not good at this stuff so please bear with me. It's me on the fiddle and hubby on the guitar. I know I'm playing it slow but I'm still learning. This is played on Gypsy.

Nice job. Great tone, timing, and articulation. Very respectable effort for someone 'just startin.' Guitar backup is nice, too.

Lovely melody and you do a great job at introducing it to the listener. You're lucky to have a hubby that plays guitar :) Very good tone, and good timing!

Great tune and rendition. Sometimes played amazingly simple, tunes like that sound simply amazing. I must learn it and add it to my list of tunes! Let's hear more. Cheers

Very nice! I can hear your talent. Good intonation and timing and even a hunch of vibrato,... and this as a beginner.
Can't wait to hear more from you!

I just found this. Beautiful intonation and feeling. Gypsy is a very good sounding fiddle. a good instrument makes a person play better.
