Good playing and what a mandolin!

Beautiful! Great arrangement, and nice mix of techniques throughout.

Very nice!

Nice arrangement! That's some serious fun.

Well done Marcel, thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Very nice!

Nice little tune. And another great sounding Gibson. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mickey, nice chord melody version of Mr. Sandman. Looks like you have been playing the heck out of your Gibson!

Had to listen twice - pretty sure I'll be back again!

Yep. Bravo !

Really nice!! A great song and I liked his interpretation of it.

did everyone spot the copy of Tea For One on top of the vinyl collection? That record is by one of Hank Williams's best friends.
really great Jesse

Thanks so much, Don! That means a lot. Hope we can play some tunes one of these days. And yeah, I figured you might notice Jethro lurking behind me, watching my every move, making me sweat...

Jesse....Thanks for posting this one! Love this song and have never heard it played so great on solo Mandolin.
Sounded fantastic!

Wow! Love me some Hank Williams, and some chord melody. Now I love 'em together! Brilliant.

Very tasteful playing. Good sounding mando. Thanks for posting.

Nice!

Yowza. Beautiful playing and song selection. My fav Monday session in recent memory. When I consider exactly how I want a mandolin to sound...Jesse and that Nugget pretty much nail it.

Very nice.

Gabe has been to a couple of the Monroe Camps. Always a blast to have him in a jam there. What a fine young player! Kudos to David for featuring Gabe! And that Sullivan is a hoss.

Great young talent and terrific tune. And that Sullivan is a keeper.

Belmont University should be very proud.

Thanks for posting!

Bostin!

Nothing like a Gibson.
Great tune.

Thanks Pete! Nicely done. Cool tone you're getting out of that A2.

Terrific and very sweet performance by a talented musician. She does justice to that fine sounding mandolin.

Talented young lady!
It will be great to see more of her success as she continues play!

That's splendid playing. Luke makes it look easy. That's the mark of a real master. And the tone isn't just the instrument, I also play a Duff and, even though it's a fantastic instrument, I don't sound half so good.

loved it, thanks for be here and performing for us!

Fine music on a fine mandolin. Great job

Really nice! ...he makes it look easy....which for would not be so.

Snappy tune, well played. Stiver makes a fine mandolin. Thanks for posting.

SO nice to see our mandocellos getting some love, Thanks Luke for doing it so well. More please!

Love the articulation

Really great playing by Luke, he has a lot of great solo mandocello videos out there.

Luke is one of the players and composers that contributed to my mandocello meets at CMSA conventions. His music and his playing are creative, nimble, and beautiful. He puts to rest the argument I hear so often (in the CBOM thread) that the mandocello is too difficult to play, the C string is too heavy, get an octave instead...etc. My teacher Fabio Giudice says that most people playing the MCello are mandolin players who picked it up for ensemble work, to fill out the quartet or orchestra. Luke is clearly a master of the instrument on its own terms, and is creating more music specifically for it; glad he is getting this recognition.

Really enjoyed everything about that.

Beautiful playing and composition. The tone of that instrument is fantastic and really used to its advantage here. Happy to know about Luke William Wright, I will be looking for more of his music.

I am smitten by that mandocello tone. The piece and the playing are nice also.

Beautiful melody and playing. Gorgeous tone on that Duff cello.

Good tune and fine playing. And what a mandocello!

Really beautiful. LWW has really devoted himself to the instrument. A new year's treat.

A lovely composition played with outstanding skill on an instrument with a beautiful, subtle voice makes a great way to start the new year—many thanks!

Thank you David. Merry Christmas!

David, thank you for that. It was beautiful. David, you are a treasure to the mandolin community.

Beautiful

That Carol really works well on the mandolin. Great arrangement.

Lovely, David. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

That just blew my mind. Thank you.

Merry Christmas to you and Tabitha. Hope to see you two @ King St. sooner than later

That's the best version of Carol of the Bells I have ever heard! Thank you for the score, David.
