Lonesome Moonlight Waltz

Well look what we have here, friends and fiddle lovers! It’s #waltzwednesday already and last week I got a request for Lonesome Moonlight Waltz and I never want to let someone down who actually goes to the trouble of asking for a specific tune. It also gives me the perfect opportunity to remind you that I’m still doing weekly Zoom workshops - for beginning AND more advanced fiddlers - all on Zoom and all recorded so you can work with the material forever and ever. As a matter of fact, we’ve been using this exact Bill Monroe classic to work on getting our vibrato nice and lazy like we like it. You can join us any time. www.FiddleStar.com has all the info. Happy waltzing, I adore each and every one of you.

I played the Lonesome Moonlight Waltz for My Wife back in 1981 and Now We been married 40 years when that little West Virigina Irish Girl heard that She said to Me I'm all Yours She still yet to this day and says to Me, Play Me a tune.

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Such a sweet story - congratulations on such a successful marriage!

[@davidmasury1435]

I love watching your bowing...

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Thank you so much! I remember quite a few hours as a kid working on bowing. Hopefully it paid off!

[@davidmasury1435]

@@MeganLynchChowning I think that you should try playing CNE Breakdown, it is a Canadian tune by Ward Allen, it has great cross string bowing . If you cannot find it, message me...David

[@MeganLynchChowning]

@@davidmasury1435 I would love to learn it some day but at the moment I'm committed to doing the Fiddle Tune Video Library's weekly advanced players challenge so I can't possibly add another tune onto my list, but come back to me in 2023 and I'll do it!

Beautiful!

[@MeganLynchChowning]

thanks Bill!

[@marciah0312]

Fantastic! The waltzes are my all-time favorites to play but I probably can't play it as well as you do. :)

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Waltzes bring me joy, and apparently you too!

[@georgelehew9203]

That was superb, excellent playing ❤

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Kind of you, thank you!

VERY SMOOTH TIMING ON THE MONEY

Thank you!

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

Great playing and tone! I'm learning this tune from your video, this is my favorite solo version

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Oh awesome! I'm honored!

[@billyhill4937]

One of my favourites. Thanks for sharing.

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Such a classic, right? I'll never get tired of it.

[@billyhill4937]

@@MeganLynchChowning I play that tune on Mandolin. I'm still working on getting better at playing fiddle. I like the mandolin for now, ...... it has frets.

[@MeganLynchChowning]

@@billyhill4937 I wouldn't mind some frets now and then. They are pretty helpful!

[@StidhamFamilygospel]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[@marshallshelor1806]

[@MeganLynchChowning]

Stay with it. You'll get there!

[@markbyrum4743]

Great tune! Good job on that.

[@MeganLynchChowning]
