More foot-tappers. Hope you guys all enjoy this Northumberland tune as much as I did playing it.
Lot of traffic in the background but the recorder, a Zoom H6 seems to have reduced it quite a bit.

A little Bach anyone? My humble effort despite Parkinson’s causing my coordination gradually to degrade. I had fun working on this and the video was a goal I made for myself several years ago. Senior citizen speed! Thanks for our cafe community!
Dan, it's just great to see and hear you playing and keeping the music in the world. Thanks for sharing!
I'd say mission accompilshed! You and that Pava sound wonderful and and inspire us all...

With your knowledge of so-called "world" music (what music isn't?) I wonder if this is in a specific style or form...? Keep the contributions coming to expand the mandolin/plucked instrument world, or at least bring it to a new audience.

This piece is in Iranian classical style. It's in Dastgah-e Mahur. It's close to what we might call Major in western music theory, but it develops in a certain way, varies slightly in the higher octave and features some quarter tones later in the piece which would of course never feature in a major piece.
It's one I composed myself, and is in my recently released book of sheet music of my own compositions.
Here's another from the same book, this one's in Dastgah-e Segah, which features two quarter tones, one of which is the tonic:
(as I think I mentioned in a previous reply, you'd get a much more in-depth answer from someone with more knowledge and experience, and there are many whole books on the subject).

I'm working my way back from a right hand injury. Being able to pick up a mandolin and doddle around is very helpful.
Couldn't detect the hand injury-- but you know how you played prior. Sounds great! Sorry about the accident and here's wishing you continued healing. Your playing will surely help, Old Growth. That mandolin sounds really beautiful and looks great, too! Thanks for the posting.

Interesting set of tunes you have posted here, Jo. I like the mood you have created in the originals, especially the Grey Like The Sky composition.
That oud has a haunting sound, enhanced by the scales you use in the tunes.

Minor Swing on my 98' Heiden mandolin. Would love any feedback and c&c from this great community.

An audience member took this video at a recent house concert. It's not the best angle for mandolin watchers, but the sound is very good. Listen with headphones.
I wrote the song in English when my daughter was about a year old. (She's 10 now.) A few years ago my wife translated the chorus into French, and that's how I sing it now.
Tout ce qui fait toi = All the things you are
Yes, that's an electric mandolin. I'm running clean with some chorus in the signal.
I should mention Fred Liebert on the bass. Enourmous tone, super tasteful, and a truly wonderful human being.
Thanks for watching!

Great tune and excellently picked Timothy! And that Collings!
Hello All, this is my first Mandolin Cafe post! Mike Buesseler gets credit for introducing me to mandolin cafe. He also was kind enough to lend me his Pomeroy 2-point mandola, a spectacular instrument to behold and play. Here are a few clips I've recently recorded using the Pomeroy...

That Pomeroy Mandola has awesome tone, nice pickin' as well.
I preferred the solo pieces to the RPD ensemble, though I liked La Sansonette ensemble version as well.
Keep doin' what you do!
