This is the second theme from Mike Oldfield's 1974 album Hergest Ridge. I'm playing the guitar parts on mandocello and octave mandolin and the oboe on mandola.

Very nice! Perfect for a chilly Spring morning here in Minnesota.

Fine solo arrangement and playing, Brad. Lovely tone too.

Here's a collaboration of East and West Coast musicians on the Justin Townes Earle tune "Harlem River Blues". I was lucky enough to get the intro and a solo. recorded with cellphones and tablets and then brought together and edited. all the credits are in the video. I used a Nueman TLM 103 and an AT4031 on the mandolin.

Here's a cover of my favorite Don Mclean song. Bought the album for American Pie, but this is the cream IMHO. Thanks for the listen!![]()

Very nice! This is a song that intrigued me, even mystified me, when it was first out. It took me quite a long time to learn that it was Don McLean. And even longer to learn it was not about a girl he knew who had committed suicide (similar to Taylor's "Fire And Rain") but Vincent Van Gogh. I think it was years before I'd even heard the song's title. That's a kind of measure of how haphazard radio programming and DJs were at the time. But that's all beside the point - nice rendition, in arrangement and performance.
I'm going to see the immersive exhibit in two weeks. Thoroughly psyched. Not just for the artwork and experience, but the company. My first date with a very special someone.Think it's a good choice, all around.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller

Lovely wistful version there, Frank. Beautifully played. Reminds me of the version Ginny Aitchison and I collaborated on over in the SAW group back in March. Here is a link to our version.

First post here, hello everybody. Here's a little bit of Whiskey Before Breakfast. https://youtu.be/3uBWatZsn5g
Here's a slow rendition of Red Apple Rag:
Despite my involuntary scowl, I do enjoy playing lol.
Two fine offerings from you here, Casey, in Whiskey Before Breakfast and Red Apple Rag. Great picking and delivery.
I usually post only on the SAW Group but thought I would add my latest tune in this section of the forum too.
My arrangement of the old Country/Gospel evergreen, Peace in The valley.

Love those country slides John! Beautiful rendition, very peaceful, very needed.![]()
Lovely, John.
Here's a collaboration between Bruce (bbcee on the cafe) and me. Did it for the SAW group, but thought I'd share it here too. Bruce is on his new to him Rigel mandolin and I'm playing my Old Wave oval hole octave (fits with the video theme). Bruce provided the snorkeling video.

Great combined effort there, Don. Lovely balance of parts and of the relative volumes of the instruments.

Thanks John. Great job on your arrangement!
Here goes - my first mandolin video! I usually play banjo which is a bit different in terms of left hand position. The first tune is from the David Surette book which has some lovely tunes.

Great first posting of your mandolin playing, Carrie. The two tunes make a fine set and your playing is very steady throughout.
