I am an amateur listener enjoying your music. This was terrific.
Happy Friday,
I'm working through recording my favorite piece of music, Vivaldi's Four Seasons. All mandolin parts are played on my Flatiron 1-N and the viola and portions of the cello parts on my...

Rummaging through some old hard disks recently and came across this mandolin-&-guitar arrangement of Calace's Moto perpetuo, recorded in 2007 in a Shanghai hotel lounge:

I remixed the audio to clean up the sound and get closer to the mandolin voice I intended. Now posted at my YouTube channel. I am pleased at being able to present good versions of tunes I wrote for a...
