"[quote]Originally posted by Marshall Simmons:\n[b]here is a technique\n&#13;\nmake a shaker out of rice and a film container.\n&#13;\nhold it in your left hand and curl your and around as if you are holding your violin. Now FROM THE WRIST shake it forward and backwards slowly and wide and go faster and tighter. this movement applies directly to the neck of the instrument except you keep you thumb pretty motionless and under the neck. Make sure you don't grip hard with your left hand and keep your left  elbow tucked forward (towards the audience)\n&#13;\nvibrato is like a woman's first period... one day it just comes\n&#13;\nMarsh\nviolist for 19 yrs[/b][/quote]\n&#13;\nThanks for the tip, Marsh, and thanks for the threat, Pop!  I've been playing \"fiddle\" (as opposed to violin) for years but never use it on ballads as I have no vibrato technique; I'll be giving the above a try.  Thanks again!"
