This week I wanted to work on mandolin, so I thought I’d give a jazz standard a shot. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Holidays my friends! Bryan and I recorded this a couple weeks ago - it's one of our favorite Christmas songs. I hope you enjoy!

Hey guys! Here’s a simple arrangement of a favorite Billy Joel tune.

I need a nap.

I hope you enjoy though!

Hey guys!

I worked on a collaboration with the one and only Josh Turner of the Beatles song Michelle. This has been a long time coming, and I'm happy we finally finished it!

Tom Waits is one of my favorite songwriters, and I’ve wanted to do a song off of Rain Dogs for a while now. Here’s my take on his tune Jockey Full of Bourbon.

For our 85th weekly cover, here's a solo mandolin rendition of the jazz standard Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

This song has been recorded countless times by amazing folks, but I have always loved Don Stiernberg's version. I thought I would give it a try this week.

Cheers!

This week's cover is a tune called Javier by Riner Scivally. It's a contrafact of the often played Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise.

Riner is an incredible guitarist that both Bryan and I have had the pleasure of studying with.

And this week on guitar we have Bryan Dedlow who stopped by my place this week. I'm incredibly happy to have him play on a tune. We played together frequently years ago and it's always a treat to hear him play!

Hope you guys dig! ...

Hey guys! It’s Halloween time so here’s some spooky Scooby Doo music. Hope you enjoy!

This week I worked on a jazz standard composed by Tadd Dameron. I’ve always loved this tune, and I hope you dig my arrangement.

Hey guys! In 2015 I recorded six of the 44 Bartok Violin Duos with my friend and incredibly talented violinist Judith Meyers in West Virginia. I thought I'd throw them into one video and share it!

I think I shared them somewhere on the cafe a couple years ago, but this is a slightly better way of presenting them. Enjoy!
