Re: Mandolin in bal folk music?
Thanks, David, Martin, Simon, Dagger...and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone..
It seems we're once again converging on some of the same great music.
I think I've let on that I've been slipsliding away from the mandolin over the last few years.
Still playing often but my main focus has been the accordion.
My wife got me started with a PA, but I've fallen for the button boxes, myself.
Mostly 2-row GC and BC but I enjoy the CF range. I have the obligatory DG but find that a bit brighter for my taste.
And a 4-stop C and, of course, a Corona II. Yeah, I'm from Texas.
M(elodeon) AS.
That's the blessing / curse of the diatonic boxes.
We're headed back to Italy this summer and a proper organetto is on the agenda.
Eventually the herd will need to be thinned.
I'm swamped with music to explore already and y'all have overwhelmed me further.
