I was wondering why there is so much empahsis on speed. Is it because you are following the fiddler and old time music was designed to be played fast for audience expectations or dancing, etc. The reason I ask is because I notice that sometimes when I slow a tune down there is a richness of tone....clear sound of slides, bends etc. that I experience. I pick up nuances in the melody that I don't always hear when things are going really fast....note: I have an extremely untrained ear but this has been my experience. Rick
