    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!

    Awesome! In the spirit of humor, I noticed that Emery's right hand position looks like he's "giving us the finger" sometimes. ;-)

    Welcome, Joe. Always good to see you on the pages of the Cafe. Great cut, hilarious ending... It's like what happens at the end of a good movie. Everyone files out and then the actors come back on. Well done.

    Welcome, Giri! Great to meet you and your sister Uma at Folk Alliance a few weeks ago. Enjoyed your showcase, looking forward to hearing your music in the future. Great picking!

    I know Spain is covered frequently in many genres but I've never really listened to it. My first exposure to is via mandolin! Cool.

    Welcome, Ethan! Great to hear your music again. For those that may have missed it, we interviewed Ethan here.

    Great take on Spain...

    Just want to say thanks for these Mandolin Monday posts! It's really inspiring seeing all these fresh pickers! Not only is David's music fresh and creative, but it's awesome to see these other pickers too. I frequent YouTube to watch Matt demo the new mandolins at his local shop and always enjoyed his picking. Between him and David and the new guard rolling in its a very exciting time to be part of the mandolin community.
