I've lost my connection for the foreseeable future so can't contribute at the moment. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
Very nicely done Dustin, I would have liked to have heared you go through it another time with a few variations. The old "leave 'em wanting more" adage at work ay....
I see 3 people have voted for Leather Britches which we did in November. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
The poll for the tune for March is up and running, and #with only a few days of Feb. to go Blackberry Blossom is off to a flying start. I voted for it last time, and again this time, as I really want...
craig, I love your version, nice relaxed laid back tempo but with loads of feeling. Nice job.
I really enjoyed that picksnbits, up till now I haven't been inspired to bother learning this tune, but you may have changed my mind. Although recently I havent been in the right frame of mind for...
Blackberry Blossom!
Didn't have anything new to put up so I uploaded an old one just to see if I had a problem. It went up ok so I deleted it. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
I just listened to your polkas Susi, and was very impressed with how your fiddling is progressing. Well done!
I also really enjoyed your vocal rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Thanks...
There are a couple more very enjoyable Christmas tunes uploaded to the site.
Just thought I'd let you know as they seem to be too modest to anounce it themselves!
Søren, I'm glad to have helped put you in festive mood. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I've just uploaded an unaccomanied version of Silent Night just in case...
I've just uploaded my Christmas tunes, hope you enjoy them! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Thanks to Dave and Stinger for your enjoyable renditions, I hope there...
Nice fiddling Mark. That's how it should be done! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif
Rob is right Susi, It's nowhere near as bad as you think. You're as bad as me for putting yourself down, we must stop that! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I'm...
I am deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was the first American bluegrass artist I saw perform when he came to England in 1983, and have been a fan ever since.
Bob Paisley. RIP
Well, God rest ye merry gentleman got the vote by a whisker. I'll have a go at learning it, but I think Craig said we needn't be restricted to one tune, so if it doesn't go well I'll do the one I...
No Alan, I've never tried #mandolin, just fiddle and guitar. I keep thinking I must get a mandolin, specially as I'm a big Bill Monroe fan, but I don't really want to add another instrument to my...
I haven't been able to access the main project site today. Does anyone know if there is a problem? Or is it just me?
I had no problem uploading my poor effort Søren.
Such a simple tune, but I had no end of problems with it. I've been leaving trying to record it till I felt reasonably comfortable with it, but...
Sounds good to me! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
yeah, I like David's version too, good picking, good music. Though I hardly recognised it as Leather Britches. I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, just commenting on my inability to...
The first rendition of Leather Britches has been uploaded by ADM (Alan Meijer)Thanks Alan, I'm sure that will inspire the rest of us, well done!
<a...
Have a great time Susanne, see if you can find someone to pick Leather Britches with. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
I usually practice with backing tracks, midi files or the metronome, and have realised how much I've come to depend on it. I love to hear solo fiddle so I've been practicing playing without any...
