Thread: Some old-time/bluegrass from Spain during the lockdown

  1. #1

    Default Some old-time/bluegrass from Spain during the lockdown

    Something completely different from what I usually do, some old time american music, with my wonderful 1904 Martin mandolin and my rusty fiddle. The squirrel hunters in the title were some soldiers in the american civil war, nothing to do with hunting our lovely furry friends! Keep yourselves safe and stay home during the lockdown, lots of love for all!

    Thanks, Xavier! I loved the enthusiastic attack...the way I believe Squirrel Hunters was meant to be played!
    Stay safe!

    You have an interesting harmonization of the melody with your chord choices. Never heard it quite like that but it works.
