Awesome! I would love to learn to play this on mandolin! Steve, you rock!!
Huzzah!
Great to have you here, Steve. Dig the tune and singing!
Nice job Steve - Looking forward to seeing you in Frankfort!
Finally got a chance to watch this one. Great job!
Wow - - nicely done.
David, you and the Apitius are a great match. Sounds fantastic!
Fantastic, David! I have been playing that for years but only single string melody, which is difficult enough. I love your arrangement. Of course, the Jacob and contemporary players like Dudu Maia play it much faster but they usually have the chords accompanied by masterful 7 string guitar players.
Whoah Nellie! Not just whistling Dixie!
Simply phenomenal! And so much fun! Great work from Rory and Dan
Feels like a groove from the Old Aquarium Rescue Unit circa 1994. I bet Col. Bruce would have enjoyed this.
Adding my votes for both "Wow!" and "That was fun!", and I just love that whistling too. Thanks Rory!
well..... I am truly blown away
My usual response to something like this is "Holy Sh*t!" But being (or trying to be) a more mature musician I'll say the Rory is remarkable. And my remarks are that he is a rare talent. Disabled or not, I assume he is blind, he really understands the style of music and performs it with style and grace.
Wow indeed!
Words fall short
What a talent.
Wow!
That was fun!
Welcome, Rory! Damn...
That's a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Les Zeppelin sones. I too bought Houses of the Holy with my morning paper route money and still listen to that album often today. Thanks for sharing this!
I had thought there were overtone/tuning issues with mag pickup-amplified string courses (doubled), hence Mandocaster is four strings. But that was absolutely lovely, majestic, transcendent! Sigh, pros can milk music from a log, and tune perfectly. Thanks, Don. That tune is embedded deeply in all of us of a certain age and place.
Very good Donnie. One of most fun duets I've done the last few years was you and I and Rain Song at Mandolin Camp
That dog is very passed out on the couch ! Lol Nice playing Don!
... reaches over, switches on lava lamp. Welcome, Don!
Mighty Fine.
Sweet!
never a dull moment
Yowsuh!!
Welcome, Casey. Great version of that tune. Thanks for being with us.

We actually recorded the live takes in the shop that my mandolin was built in - that was a fun day. Glad you dig the tunes!
Alex that's a greats sounding mandolin. Very nice tune as well.

Alex, welcome. Have enjoyed your videos for a long time. Glad to have you join Mandolin Mondays. Looking forward to your new release this Friday.
Fantastic playing, Tristan. Welcome. Check out Tristan's blog, linked above. Good reading!
Awesome, I will definitely be in touch for this one. My wife is a huge DMB fan.
Watchtower !!! Hoping for a Mile Twelve Colorado tour. Keystone bluegrass and beer is pretty sweet.
Rocking good one!
David, great medley! Happy Monday and thanks as always for this series.
Thanks Marla. I sure do like your style.
Thanks Marla, you made my Monday a better day!
Welcome, Marla! Great to have your music here again.
Splendid! Great contribution to this cool series.
Shalom Aleichem says one, Aleichem Shalom says the other. A traditional greeting. So Alan "Aleichem Shalom!" A beautiful and soulful tune. (I wish the mic was up close in order to really hear that great mandolin.) Really nice though. And what a great way to start the week. Thanks!
Welcome, Alan! Nicely played.
Fantastic playing. Great ending and some really amazing picking.
Awesome! In the spirit of humor, I noticed that Emery's right hand position looks like he's "giving us the finger" sometimes. ;-)
Making the impossible look effortless
Smokin'!
