Re: Dagger Gordon video
Great sound from your Sobell, Dagger, and a tune that is new to me. Well played, sir, and once again you demonstrate the virtues of a good traditional breakfast. Just finished my porridge and raspberries as I write this!

Re: Dagger Gordon video
Here's another early morning video which I did after breakfast today.
It's an old Scottish air from the Simon Fraser Collection called Ruairi Dubh, also known as Roderick Dhu, the Clanalpin Chief. I heard Cheyenne Brown playing it on the harp last Saturday night and thought that it would sound good on my ten string Sobell mandolin.

Re: Dagger Gordon video
Haven't had an after breakfast tune for a wee while. This is Jimmy Shand's classic tune The Bluebell Polka. It was very popular when I was young, indeed it was a great favourite of my mother who would sometimes sing it about the house. This kind of tune seems quite old-fashioned nowadays, but I think it's great.
Played on the Sobell 10 string mandolin.

Re: Dagger Gordon video
You must have had a good porridge breakfast before playing this old classic, Dagger! You seemed to be really enjoying it (tune as well as breakfast). Great stuff, and I was singing along to what I could remember of the lyrics - Picking the bluebells in the merry month of May.... The Sobell sounds great.
