    Thanks everyone for your kind words! I am very honored to be part of mandolin mondays. And I´m glad to hear people are still enjoying Waltz of the Dreams. You gave me an idea to make a tutorial for that one on my youtube channel. Coming up!

    Welcome, Magnus!

    He may be new to some of you but Magnus has been around a good awhile. His track entitled Waltz of the Dreams on our MP3 page has been one of our favorite tracks for a long time. Brilliant piece of music.

    Here it is:

    Wowzers. These Monday tunes are all great. But when a teenager lays down an old time tune with skill, it builds congeniality.
    Great job and good luck, sir!

    I saw Hayes on tour with April Verch. A great sideman who is stepping out as a great performer in his own right. Well done!

    Hayes, you're welcome to upload it on the regular part of the Forum. The blog comments don't have a utility for uploading PDFs, just images. It's a great piece of music.
