It's been a while since my last Beatles arrangement. Here's what I came up with the other day for their song "In My Life."

I did all the past Beatles arrangements on mandola, but for some reason...

211834

And old song that was modified by the Carter Family and a number of others. The melody is shared with McKinley Blues/White House Blues, as are some of the lyrics.

I wish I’d never sold mine!209338

This was 1975!
Sold the mandolin and then the hair just…left!

Well there is this...

Her collab with the Chieftains is often over looked. If you want to feel the hair stand up on the back of your neck, listen to this version of the celtic classic "Foggy Dew"

...

There's mandolin throughout, but it's only featured for a short section.

These came off this week!207840207841207842207842

I have learned a lot from John Scofield recordings, expression, riffs, tunes, and using double stops as improvisation. A fun groove, plenty great help from the rhythm section.

I may have posted this before. Don't know how to search for it, being from facebook. But it came up in my memories today, six years ago today - a pop-up band for a one-time gig. Fun take on an old...

I have decided to give away one of my mandolins in honor of my friend Alan Niederland. Many of us have been touched by his generous nature. Personally, in addition to much music, Alan introduced me...

I do not wish to be rude or disrespectful here. But you seem to have some really really fundamental misunderstandings on this stuff. Getting an in person teacher to go over some basics could clear...

I dunno ... my grandpappy done had one with two half moons, one for each hole! And instead of the Sears & Roebuck catalog, his had Neiman-Marcus!

Hats off to Ken! What a noble gesture. I was going to send in my photo plus sound clip but I didn't think he'd fall for it, lol!

Yes, although the digital licensing is often taken care of automatically by the service companies, ie: YouTube, etc... So for example if you're wanting to publish on YouTube and if the song you're...

I take your point. It's like going to the Great Artists Hall of Fame, and seeing Picasso's hammer and chisel from the week he tried sculpting.*


* I made that up; I'm not saying that Picasso...

I'm not the best piano player so this took me a hot minute to learn but I'm pretty happy with it. I love learning both sections... I feel like it gives me a better appreciation for the piece....

I wasn't going to say anything, because this trip did include the first time I have been inspired to write a yelp review about a place so insanely godawful ... but that was in RI. :grin: But while in...

Mandolin improvisation backed by guitar, uke and artificial drums.

The title is basically random, in honor of the molting season.

Yeah, Spell-Check's been my worst enema for quite a while. How many times must one change "manual" to "mandola?"

By chance, I own that very autoharp. Janis bought it at the Carter Family lawn sale. There's some damage where she clouted Jim Morrison with it, which adds to its value. Janis later gave it to Kris...

Gahhh ... don't remind me. I'm right behind you, just a month and a week away. :(

Happy Birthday! :mandosmiley:

Happy Birthday Jon Seif! Many happy returns of the day pal!

Mandolin with guitar and uke. I beat the lawnmowers, but there’s a bit of garbage truck in there (and it could use more barn, of course). I couldn’t get Mr. House Wren in the studio for his solo,...
