Stick in the Snow
OK, this it definitely not a "ready for prime time" performance, but decent snowfall doesn't happen too often in these parts so I had to give it a shot while I had the opportunity. Was able to play most of the way to how much I've learned of the piece.
At least it's better than a stick in the mud.

Victor, very well done! And in the cold! I hate playing in the cold (but who likes it, really, unless you're....thinks....okay, all I gots is caroling or playing hockey.)
Good job and feel feel to post in all weather--wait, don't take your Stick out in the rain and play! In fact, is that your cord in the snow there? LOL Well done!

Re: Stick in the Snow
Thoroughly enjoyed Vic. I really enjoy hearing you play that piece and am certain that you will have that locked in no time. This piece is 1 of 7 pieces in Free Hands, so it is definitely near and dear to my heart.
I've logged a number of hours with that piece, so please let me know if ever I can be of service to you. A trick that I have discovered on this piece, which I am now using on a few other Bach pieces, is to add a third in the left hand for the second verse (or A section if you will). In this case, when you ascend in the bass line from A to D, hit the C with your third finger while the first finger is on the A. Keeping that same position, move to the B with the first finger and hit the D (again on the 9th string) with the third finger and then change the position to a major chord position so your first finger is on the C and your third finger is on the E (<--9th string).
Perhaps we can do a follow up session on Bach pieces for the Stick, would love to get your insight.
