Franks' Mandolin Kitchen

[Frankdolin]

Hi fellow mandolin lovers. For some sort of continuity I've decided to start this thread to post my videos.Most all my music is done here in my kitchen. Low tech. Tascam DR07 mk-ll, no effects, for single track/overdubs, and as input to a Nikon D780. I welcome comments, questions, requests,whatever... Thanks for listening and indulging my mandolin infactuation. So here's 3 to kick it off. Thanks "Mandolin Cafe".

Frank are there any tunes you don't know?

[Eldon Dennis]

Great job and thanks for sharing!! Looking forward to future postings!

[John Kelly]

Hope you carry on posting in the SAW Group too, Frank.

[Nathan Kellstadt]

I really enjoyed those. Thanks!

So nice to hear/see someone playing truly "musical" tunes without trying to impress everyone with breakneck speed or over-used "bluesy" licks. Man, enough with the same old fiddle tunes!

And what a relaxed, natural right hand! Good music and great playing...

As Nathan said above, I really enjoyed these tunes... thanks for sharing these nice sounds!

I'd like to spend some time in your kitchen over a few cups of Joe and hear this music in person. Sounds wonderful Frank, especially because of your "low tech" studio gear. Love it and keep 'em coming.

Thank - You All ! Here's a couple genre bending tunes for you. My kitchen is like a Forest Gump box of chocolates. Thanks again!

I thought this would be a thread about Frank Wakefield cooking his Loar

Frank,

Thanks for posting all these videos. I really enjoy your tune selection and your playing. Very inspiring.


Regards,

[Michael Nelson]

Love this kinda stuff Frank. So much of what I find online is played at such breakneck pace that my brain can't even keep up listening to it. Your stuff is mellow and relaxing. You are exactly the kind of player I would like to be.

Thanks for all the kitchen tunes, excellent playing and recording. My favorite Frank tune, Pioggia di rosa.

[Joe K]

These are terrific. Anyone else as stumped as I am to decide on a favorite. I thought it was "Tennessee Blues," but then so many of the others are great, too.

Thanks, Frank.

Great picking, I love your style! Thanks for posting, subscribed!

[Frankdolin]

Thank You All !!! Here's the tune Dusty so kindly mentioned, post any carved tops. And one of my favs, from last month.
