Fantastic playing!
Fantastic playing!
It takes time to get right. At the beginning of my mandolin journey, I thought I was being clever by trying to place my fingers as close to the frets as possible because that's what I'd seen in...
You're right, I didn't notice the ambiguity when I sent my message. Let me clarify: The drone notes sound really good. :))
It really does. Those drones work ever so well.
What an arrangement! You've created something wonderful there.
I always enjoy listening to this one, and I've listened to it a lot since buying your Perinmama album. It seems to have a calm but energising, almost healing, effect on me. I love all the voices and...
This song works very well on mandolin, and your version especially! Thank you, I'll certainly look at the full video.
Kevin, those are great recordings and a nice souvenir of Ali Baeg. May he rest in peace.
What Cheryl said. It takes a lot of courage and talent to sound so good on solo mandolin.
Thank you, Richard. I watched the film for the first time today and feel in awe of the scholarship, music, narration and technical work that have gone into this. It's really something special, and I...
This one will be deservedly well received too. Super nice!
Looking forward to it!
I enjoyed that! Thank you for the introduction.
Yes, the mandolin was considered a workers' instrument. Perhaps they were cheaper than other instruments. Mandolin orchestras in Germany emerged from workers' associations and the Wandervogel...
It's not often I get to see such a talented child! My son would struggle to avoid breaking the mandolin, let alone play it so well. When did Leo start learning?
A special occasion - the last musical outing with the old work colleagues, friends, after-work strummers and occasional open-mic band before new jobs and long-distance house moves cause the natural...
It takes time. You might as well enjoy the ride while spending that time, as Bob said above. I had to learn that I learn mandolin slower than other people. There's not very much I can do about that,...
That's a nice lesson, thanks! I struggle to bring more variety into my chord playing, so this was a useful summary.
Dan, it's just great to see and hear you playing and keeping the music in the world. Thanks for sharing!
These are great pieces, and the production sounds very professional. I really enjoyed listening. Part 2 gave me a sense of peace - I love it when acoustic meets ambient.
Michael, that waltz was truly beautiful!
He would have liked your recording, too! Thanks for sharing.
Great gig! I listened to the whole thing and loved it.
I posted this in the Song-a-Week social group a couple of weeks ago. I'll link it here as well to give more exposure to this nice tune by Simon Wascher. It's called Mazurka Schloss Freiberg. The...
Thank you, Jozef. Happy new year!
It's a real pleasure to listen to this piece. Perinmama is a great album.
