What a beautiful piece of music! Welcome, Akira Otsuka. Great to see and hear your music here.

...that was awesome. I loved hearing the different variations he was coming up with. Nice stuff!

Wow Aaron - that was awesome. Hope to hang soon.

JUST EXCEPTIONAL THANK YOU!!!

I think I would want to be greedy and learn 10-15 seconds of it.

Amazingly inspirational!

Holy cats that was great.

I'd like to learn just 5 seconds of that.

Thanks so much for sharing this Aaron.

Awesome Aaron!

Outstanding

Thanks, Daniel, and welcome. This was beautiful.

I've very much enjoyed Daniel's discography, though it's not as well known this side of the Pacific. His CDs Voyages and Esquisses are exquisite! Great to hear from you, Daniel!

Welcome, Daniel. Très bien!

Thanks mandopixie! I totally agree in your acknowledgements.

Haha! I will tell my hairdresser she is getting recognition in the mandolin community. :-)

Just sayin'

Thanks Bud!

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!

Now, follow this up with something on Jarmo Rompanen, a graduate from the Sibelius Academy, Folk Music Dept.

Really nice!

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:

Beautiful playing, gorgeous chord work.

Very nice indeed! Also great to have the references - a fun homework assignment to give context for your great performance.

Bravo!

Wow, that was really nice, Charlotte!

This is so refreshing to hear. Love how musical it sounds!

Smooth is right!

Sounds great.....good luck at Berklee!

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!

Smooth right hand! Welcome, Eli.

thanks Dan

The mandolin is a 1909 F4 #9100

Don’t get any better then that!

that was great!

f-d

Cheers Dan, great stuff - just the way to start off me Monday!

Nice job, Dan. Thanks for this and all your other contributions to the world of mandolins!

Not a chicken is alive after that set of fine tunes.

Great sound! Really fresh to my ears

Welcome, Paddy. Great to have you here among us.
