    I love your playing, and I was watching your right hand in this video because I want to improve my right-hand technique. Do you have an unusually long thumb or a special pick grip? Your grip seems to give you great control and a good angle on the strings, but of course I can only see the back of your hand.

    Dang it. we need a permanent link for a kickstarter TAB fund. I'm enjoying bashing my head against this one but I'd love a bit of sheet music to go along. Such a cool use of mandola.

    Great changes! Thanks for all the tunes in 2017.
  43. Teak's Avatar
    Nice version, David. I tend to play it a little faster because that tune can swing! (Great chord progressions.)

    Gorgeous, as usual, David. Thanks, and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you and all the 'cafe and its members!
    Peace and Love

    A beautiful Christmas treat.
  46. tpeters's Avatar
    This is wonderful as always with David's playing, but his version last year of the Charlie Brown theme "Christmas Time is Here" with Missy Raines is just about my favorite Christmas mandolin piece ever - and it is still on YouTube. Thanks!

    Bravo.

    You cheered me up. All I got was socks.

    Thanks for another great year of music, David. Looking forward to 2018. Did we hear a rumor a mandolin album from you is on the horizon?

    Great pickin', Scott.
    With the speed you're using on that tune, maybe it should be called "Under the Autobahn"!
  50. Bernie Daniel's Avatar
    Nice tune! If you are reading these comments Scott is the name "Under the Audubon" mean some kind of bird inspiration for the tune? I am a bird song devotee and know the calls and songs of several hundred N. American birds -- I use that information is the spring for survey work. But your tune kind of makes me think of bird vocalizations -- with the abrupt passages always springing up suddenly - like a bird call on a quite morning? Just thought I'd mention that! LOL! Love that old Gibson F-5!
