Wow! One of my favorite tunes. Thanks for sharing.

Just what the doctor ordered! That was terrific, Steve!

Fantastic!
That was fun, Steve.
It's funny how funky the mandolin can be. I play some New Orleans funk: Cissy Strut (The Meters) and Get Out of My Life Woman (Allen Toussaint).
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

That was just awesome! Could you post your chord fingerings? I want to learn this.
Thanks y'all

Wow. Excellent playing, Steve. Just made my Saturday a little better (and funky).
I can only play half as much as I want, because I only play half as much as I would like.
Steve C. throwing down the stank!
Righteously.
Now Chris T., please take off that mask. You are not fooling anyone here .....
TOP put the F in funk, my kind of funk
Funk Mandolin - another addition to my oxymoron list!

Bit late to this train, but this is incredible, inspiring, and utterly funky. I'd love to see more mandolinists branching out in genre.

Seriously cool. Outrageously good! Very glad this thread got "woken up", because I hadn't seen it before.
This is outstanding.

Prince had an Archive Vault in the basement of Paisley Park.
It was a modern State of the Art American-Century Vault door that only he had the combs to, and he took them with him when he went. It was designed to be infernally un-openable by any surreptitious means, meaning not only would you fail to gain access, but any attempts to do so would serve only to release re-lockers which would prevent anyone from ever gaining access (even with the codes at that point) I just read a book by arguably America's greatest legal safe-cracker in which he describes his bypass opening of it.
(It mostly contained unreleased reel to reel recordings)
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
And Paris never was my kinda town
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
