I hate how much classical musicians took over the culture idea of the violin. I don’t even hate classical music at all, I love classical music, but violins are played in so many different genres and have so much soul, and the way they’re played in other styles is so overshadowed by classical. And of course this is because of racism and classism.

I was primarily a Celtic fiddler back when I seriously played the violin, so let’s talk about sessions.

Sessions are a big group of people, not exclusively fiddlers, playing music together. There’s no group leader, anyone can start a song. If it’s a song you know you join in, but if you don’t know it, you sit there and listen. Every song is played multiple times, and so as the song is played, you start picking it up by ear. You might not learn the whole song that sessions, but by the end of it you can usually get a good amount. Even if you don’t know the whole thing you can play the parts you know, or maybe play some chords. And if you do know the song, you’re free to accent it and bow it however you want.

And there’s no gap between songs. Someone signals when this is the last play through of the song (usually by raising their foot), and as soon as that song is done, someone starts a new one. Sometimes it’s a different version of a song you already know, and you get tripped up, but that’s fun too. It’s a r beautiful moment of community and it’s so wonderful to participate in. And it’s so vastly overshadowed by classical music.

in Appalachian oldtime and bluegrass we call them jams. same principle. a whole raft of musicians with their own instrument, sitting in a circle or standing around. most of these tunes are repetitive by nature, so the main melody gets passed person to person. everyone likes to put their own spin on it when it's their turn, and keep up playing the accompaniment when it moves to someone else. there's an old joke I've heard around that scene "how many bluegrass pickers does it take to change a lightbulb? doesn't matter, as long as each of them get a turn."

and, to me, the fiddle is the heart and soul of the sound in any jam.

I think one of the reasons gardening has been able to be a consistent hobby for me, with my ADHD tendency to hyper-fixate and then drop hobbies after they stop being new, is because Gardening is actually several hobbies all wearing a single trench-coat. And they rotate in and out seasonally.

Just when my brain is getting bored with winter garden prep, oh look, it's seed-starting time! And just when that is getting boring, its time to transplant, and direct sow! And then its pruning and training and mulching time. Harvesting is great, but when I'm getting bored of that- Don't worry, it's almost time to chop-and-drop and settle the garden down for winter. Oh look, seed catalogues will be arriving soon!

Gardening is a series of interconnected, but different enough tasks to keep my brain re-engaging. And I love that.
