My name is Karl and this is my #introduction. I've just joined courtesy of installing #Vivaldi browser and finding a pointer to here. With everything that's going on in the world I am less inclined to be connected to Facebook, Instagram and the like, or to share my data so widely. I've reduced my exposure... Deleting other social media apps - although not *everything* yet - Starting here; Setting up a #blog at https://gentlemenjoyfully.com (that name was the random name given to my Gravatar homepage. I just liked it and thought perhaps it could inspire a way of looking at things, so I adopted it for my blog page.

I work in technical sales for #RedHat an IT #Software company, and in my spare time I like to play and sing. I play #fiddle, #guitar(s) and accordion.. though mostly fiddle. I also love #dogs, and #walking in the #countryside, and #ClassicCars and #Motorcycles. To stay #healthy I like #running, #walking and doing #yoga mostly.

Six years ago today, I started on a journey to learn to play #fiddle. I look back on this rocky road, and talk about how I'm currently struggling to find a time and place for the practice I really need!

The #Reformation significantly impacted the popularity of #fiddle music in Shetland due to the church’s disapproval of dancing and secular music, which were considered sinful.

If I had to think of #klezmer albums from this summer to recommend for #BandcampFriday it would probably be these two:

Ariane Morin, hardworking saxophonist from #Montreal just put out an album of her compositions, played by some of the top NY/Philly klezmers.

Alicia Svigals, NY violinist & former Klezmatics member, also put out a followup trad klezmer album to her 90s Fidl.

Charles River Rapper in Rock Stream, NY

#morrisDancing #rapperSwordDancing #fiddle #boston

Five rapper sword dancers, in black t shirts with a silver emblem on the sleeve and black skirts with a silver decoration, are performing a dance in an open structure with a concrete floor and wood framed roof. Their hands are high and their rapper swords are entangled. A musician at right rear, in a black shirt and trousers, plays a fiddle. Two morris dancers, in white shirts and black trousers with arm ribbons and blue vests decorated with badges, watch at left rear. Behind is a view down to a lake.
