#violin #violinsky #bluegrass

I'm playing some fiddle for Western Week in Scottsdale, AZ. There are Native American dancers performing during our breaks.

My gently curated Bluesky list of fiddle players, jazz violinists, and alt. violinists has grown a bit... I'm focusing on professional musicians who often post about performing. I'll continue to add to it as I discover new people🎻

(part 2 of 2) This is me playing the fiddle at yesterday's (Friday) gig in Mesa, Arizona🤠🎻 Sorry about the weird angle. I had my phone leaning on the floor monitor. #violin #violinsky #bluegrass #music

Another robot taxi ride today in Tempe, Arizona🤖

It has an onboard ai 'brain' that drives it. You summon it with a phone app that also takes care of payment. There are swarms of them in Tempe so you are generally able to get picked up within five minutes or so. You just sit there and it takes you wherever you want to go. No tip required.

I dropped my car off at the mechanic and am taking a driverless taxi home. During tourist season, our visitors are generally mind boggled by this. We've had this technology in Tempe, Arizona for several years now and it has become fairly routine.

(part 3) Here's a bit more blues fiddle from my performance last Thursday at Westside Blues and Jazz in Phoenix, AZ #violin #fiddle #jazz #jazzsky #violinsky #blues
