Good one Steven ! Great tune!

[Steve Cantrell]

Thanks Mike and Jill. It is a kicking fiddle tune for sure, and cool since it has some history here in my home state. Jill, that is a local Old Time performance venue called Hagood Mill. It is an actual working grist mill and you can still buy ground corn meal there for your bread or grits. Beautiful place.

Some Frank Zappa stuff on my electric Flying V "Valkyria".

Some Zappa on my electric.

dude.. you seared it!

[Mike Snyder]

Oh yeah! Crushed it!

[Ed Goist]

Agreed. Fantastic! You killed it.
Love the tight, compressed tone. It's very reminiscent of FZ's SG.
Very well done.

[5-stringer]

Thanks guys...this little guitar feels like a gibson indeed, i'm very pleased with it! Thanls for the encouraging words.

There are a couple of wrong passages, but the main phrases are there, and is such a tremendous pleasure to play this piece...Zappa rules!

[Soundfarmer Pete]

A bit of a racket.........

Fun though

A little humor on a Friday night.....

Great tune, fine playing, love your audience, and really like the atmosphere of sheer joy.
Nice!

[Steve Cantrell]

Norman does them right.

[Jill McAuley]

Great stuff there Steven, perfect soundtrack for a Sunday afternoon!

Cheers,
Jill

[Steve Cantrell]

Thank you much, Jill. It really was a pretty day. About 90, but there was enough of a breeze stirring every so often to keep it tolerable.

[Ben Somerville]

Some of you have already seen this from a previous post, but this is from a show where Sierra was kind enough to ask me to play a tune with her band!

[MJackson]

Great job Ben!

[Ben Somerville]

Thanks!

[Ed Goist]

Norman does them right.
...snipped video...

Steven, that was great.
What a fun performance of a great little tune!
Oh, and I thought the instruments were very well mixed on the recording.
What was it recorded with?
Excellent!

[Steve Cantrell]

Thanks Ed. I was a little low but if I sit out in front with that mandola it is overwhelming. This is done with my iPhone propped on the recycle bin. worked like a charm. It is actually uploaded in lower quality so it wouldn't take a day, but it the phone records in hd.

Jamming in the street...

[Maddie Witler]

Here's a video from the Berklee College of Music's American Roots Music Show. A group of students going by the name "Hayes Griffin and the Wonder Buddies."

Tune is Sally Anne.

Players:
Matt Witler--Mandolin
Gabe Hirshfeld--Banjo
Hayes Griffin--Guitar
Jack Devereux--Fiddle

[Jill McAuley]

Great stuff Matt! - what mandolin are you playing?

Cheers,
Jill

It's a Turkey Creek made by Brad Van Loenen out in Colorado. He builds some really great reasonably priced mandolins. Mine is number 70, it's only a few months old and I think it sounds great. I'm extremely happy with it.

[Ed Goist]

Matt, that's a great performance by your band...But where was the mandolin player's close-up?!
Jill, I couldn't recognize the mandolin either (and it sounded awesome, especially on the chop!)
But I'm pretty sure Matt is playing a Breedlove here...and he's playing it Awesomely!
This is top-shelf all the way!
