hey diddle diddle, some help from a fiddle - day 7

today we met with mike the fiddle player.

to start off with we played him foggy dew, irish rover, derry child, and dropkick murpheys, and then we played through each of the songs a couple of times with the fiddle added in.

i think that the fiddle made the songs sound a lot fuller than they did and if we could get a fiddle player for the actual show, that would be really great.

one of the notes that mike gave us was that on the build up into the heavier part of derry child, it should be a gradual build up, and that we are rushing into it too quickly which doesn't make it sound as good as it could, which i agree with.
