Dancing Bear - American Fiddle Reel

Here is a really fun contra dance tune for the fiddle called The Dancing Bear! It's a super fun one to play! =D I added in a bunch of improvisation to change it up a bit - I hope you like it! =) This tune is so much fun that I was literally playing it over and over and over these past few weeks for hours. Sorry if you're my neighbor! =/ I really like the repeating melody with the changing chord - it sounds so neat to me. More tunes need to do that! =) This tune was written by Bob McQuillen in 1978. He was a pianist from New Hampshire. At the top of the music for this tune, he wrote this: "I have a wonderful friend who is a Bear named Oso and this tune is for him because he likes it. Barry Nielson likes it too, and so its for him, too, with love from Mac." I hope you like this version of the tune! Thank you for watching! ~Katy ------------------- Software and equipment used: Software used (for Macintosh): Garageband for attempted sound mixing Final Cut Pro X for video editing Plugins for sound effects (I have A LOT to learn in this department!): East West plugins – Goliath Virtual Instrument (literally the best one, in my opinion) Camera: Canon 70D H4 Audio recorder - This is sort of hard to use, but I hope I'll get better at it. I sort of prefer the regular microphone on the 70D because it sounds more "real."
