Luke testing out the Abbotts’ newly-restored fiddle on the roof of their Santa Cruz home, with a couple traditional fiddle tunes, Angeline the Baker and Apple Blossom. And he *almost* manages to stay in sync with his foot…those darn triplets…
We’re the Abbotts
Brothers Kyle and Luke, and parents Leslie ("Mama") and Carl ("Papa"). This is our family blog.
This has been our main project for over seven years: helping folks to learn to play music.
Sounded nice Luke. Ummm, and the cameraman was entertaining as well lol … now where did I put that Dramamine.
you neighborhood looks awesome. i liked the tricky camerawork, too.
Ich bin stolz, meinen Namen mit Luke und seinem erstaunlichen Geigenspielen verbunden zu lassen. Diese Geige gehört offensichtlich immer Ihnen! - Russell von New York
(I am proud to have my name associated with Luke and his marvelous fiddle playing. This fiddle has obviously always belonged to you! -Russell from New York)
Hey Russell! I just learned some German. Great to hear from you! Thank you again for the fiddle. As you can see, Luke enjoys it very much. I never knew that von means from so… signing off Leslie von Santa Cruz. Cheers!
I wanted to comment about Luke’s version of Angeline the Baker. I’ve been trying to get that oldtimey bowing down for a while, and just have not found the right resources for learning how to do it. I’m hoping I can pick it up from the video if I watch it enough. Great bowing.
