    Default This Tune Needs a Category of Its Own

    This is an original tune from Colin Botts. I really have no idea how to categorize it. I’m happy to have it moved…but to where? Anyone?

    Great sounding mandola. I have a two point Pomeroy that could be a sibling to that mandola. Very nice tune. I'd call that tune a meditation.

    That is in the category of original tunes for mandolin family instruments. Very nice! It does sound like a South American butterfly.

    New old time.
    And timeless. In the same basic pocket as other gorgeous melodies including the likes The Golden Ticket, step town, winderslide.
