A great interview. I recall when Caterina came to the Mandolin Symposium with her guitar partner then, Mirko Schrader, in 2007 I think. The evening they got up to perform, everyone in the audience...

John, I see there is also a banjo player there too. I wonder how many of these students continue on with mandolin...both classical or say another style like bluegrass?

Like those above, I too loved the playing of Peter and enjoyed the several times I could interact with him. Eg. the workshop at the Classical Mandolin convention, mentioned by Doug and John. Years...

Sylvan Music, in Santa Cruz, has a Lyon & Healy listed. f.y.i.

Wonderful casual concert! Fun to listen to AND get some ideas for my own playing too!

Thanks Mike....and with the correct spelling of the Jenny Lind Polka!

I'm looking for musical notation for the tune: Jenny Lynn Polka.
I play it by ear, and want to share it w. a friend who's a sight reader.

A variation on Mandolin Quartet music: Mandolinist Jeff Midkiff has recorded two Qunintets with the string quartet, Carpe Diem. Hopefully some day
we shall see and hear Jeff Midkiff on Mandolin...

Another version of the song can be heard in the new Kronos Quartet recording on Folkways Smithsonian records. A classical string quartet that has done all sorts of music over the years. "Long Time...

Joe Walsh has an album out (an early one?) called "Saturday night Waltz," and I love the way he does the tune. Can't figure out who the guitarist is, but
together they do a great version of Whiskey...

I like the clarity of the piece; of the way Bob arranged it.

Bach cello suites - A cd I like a lot is by Robin Bullock and called "Suites for Mandolin - Volume One."
On the album are Suites 1, 2, and 3. We hear #1 lot, but not the other Cello Suites played...

I thought the Virtual Convention was really good! I saw some great concerts; and helpful workshops; etc. What I would like to see is a way that
some of the presentations could be shared with...

Great and thorough interview. I liked Andrew Collins' advice: learn to play tremolo, and fast for fiddle tunes. (Still working on both to those myself!)

Thanks to you all for the notation!
I needed that to "get going." Once I start playing it, I know it by ear!

I'm looking for the notation (not tab) for the tune, Whiskey Before Breakfast.
thanks,

I had to go to my mandolin collection (all over the place) and select some cds I really like. Here you go:
Cafe Brasil - wonderful choro music and a really nice booklet
Contratopia: "Smitten" - the...

I agree tat Caterina Lichtenberg,s cd is really good.
Especially like the Bach cello suit on a Gibson Mandola from. The 1920s.

I am looking for music of this piece.
Thanks for any help.

I like the design of Peter Sawchyn's Beaver Tail mandolins.
What are they like? What is the tone like?

Mark mentioned that A Bruxa is on the album by Dave Hull and Kari Larson. The final tune, "First Snow," by them is also great!

"A Abruxa" is a waltz on a Dakota Dave Hull recording. Anyone know
of the music notation for this?

I'm looking for the music to the waltz. Thanks.

I'm looking for notation for John Hartford's "Royal Box Waltz."

Heard it on the really nice cd, "Memories of John."

Eva's brother ran for U.S. State Representative fr. CA. Didn't win; maybe next time.
