Thanks! 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'!

Much fun, man. Thanks!

Ha! What fun, love it!

I chuckled. Then I guffawed.

What a (lovable) monster! Cracked me up at the end, too. Thanks, Emory!

I chuckled big time. Well done!

Nicely done, old friend Emory! Glad to see you here.

Love this guy. Such a nice man and what can we say about his creativity???? Awesome!

Two minutes of ultimate mandolin hedonism. Mercy. Thank you Emory.

Awesome playing David! You had some really creative variations in there.

Astounding technique. Thank you.

Simply great!

Really terrific !

Very nice. Seems like he used the elbow a lot more than the wrist, ala Sam Bush

Beautiful job, David!

Incredible. Wonderful tone

Wow... Nicely done, David.

Hey Joe. What does you mother think of spending all that money on shoes?
Great video. Hope to see you sometime in Minneapolis.

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.

So awesome man!
