Friday Fiddle Tune 2

Here’s another pols tune — this one dedicated to my friend Andrea on her fiftieth birthday.

Friday Fiddle Tune

Well, I was messing around with my fiddle tonight and this is what popped out.

It’s written in the style of a Norwegian Rørospols tune — that is, music to be played for a Norwegian folkdance from the town of Røros. If you’ve never seen Rørospols, here’s a video clip.

Low-Tech Support

I’ve never officially worked tech support, but I’ve been the unofficial techie in a lot of places where I’ve worked. And I’ve fielded my share of frantic late-night computer questions from my parents.

All of which means that I spent far too much time watching and rewatching this video and laughing.
