Goodbye Liza Jane on a Kimble
Very nice Jordan and Mike, thanks! Casey Cook your guitar player in the vid, ain't shabby either
This video is an out-take from "NED the Movie". Currently screening on Public TV near you. Schedules for broadcast are found at www.nedthemovie.com. No bluegrass, a little mandolin content- but it's really a conversation starter to raise awareness for our patients.

I got my Breedlove Crossover Mandolin the other day, and am absolutely loving it, and I have a video to prove it! I took it over to a friend's house yesterday for her birthday party, and we all sang Happy Birthday in the key of G, and then I did some little waltzes and fiddle tunes....I didn't get asked to leave, so I see that as a good thing!

The thing I like about the crossover is the wider nut. At one time when I could still jump, I could almost dunk a Basketball....That's back in the day when Dr. J played ball, and I could also palm a basketball as well. Playing the Mandolin is a little more challenging for me then playing the guitar....But I love playing it because of it's tone, and it's compactness. I can sit in my little Scion XB at lunch time in the driver's seat, and pick some fiddle tunes and noodle around on scales....I can't do that with my big body acoustic guitar! I got a great deal on this thru one of those big box guitar online and brick and mortar stores, and it's really all I need for my needs. I play at church on Sundays, and we have a community dinner there on Friday nights, and I help provide live music, and hey that's cool with me....I figure no one's going to ask me to tour with them....I'm too old fat and ugly for that, and it is what it is....
cool mandolindude...congratulations on your Breedlove. sounds good. what instrument is that sitting on the mantle behind you?
The instrument on the mantel? I have no idea. About ten years ago I developed an interest in playing the mandolin. My Mom and Dad bought it on eBay. It has twelve strings and I woudn't dare tune it to pitch as the top is all dried out with this high desert climate we have in Denver, and the top is reallthin. It makes a nice decoration on the piano next to Eiffel tower souvenir, and pictures of the grandkid......
"Rawhide"
We have never done "Wagon Wheel." But last night the tip was right - someone put $20 in the bucket and kept asking for it, for over an hour. So at the end of the night we got a friend up to sing it.
We got such a crazy reaction from the crowd. Nearly everyone got up to dance, including our lead singer (red checked shirt), who got grabbed by the woman who requested it (she also stuck her head in the camera early on). Toward the end you can see she gave him a big "Thank you" and a kiss. I guess it's confirmed - it's a crowd pleaser.
At the end I said, "I told you we don't know that song." Such a smarty-pants! But we really don't, not the verses, anyway. Some of us have played it well over a hundred times, the bass player probably twice that or even more (he's friends with one of the members of OCMS), and everyone knows the chorus, of course, just not all the rest. We might have to learn it ... not!
The start got cut off, and it's a little dark, but the music's all right, I guess ...

very cool JB...u da man
Dunno about that, but ... OK, I'll take it. Thanks!
It really took us all by surprise how the crowd reacted. We get people dancing all the time, but usually just a few at a time. This was en masse. I'm glad we got it on video, and the video was pretty well shot. The darkness couldn't be helped, but it's not too bad.
For the past two months we had a regular, a thirtysomething woman from Arkansas visiting with her teenage daughter, while her husband was renovating their home. She had studied dance for years while she was younger, and clearly had kept up her chops. She would dance nearly all through our shows, burnt through a couple of pairs of shoes, which she would tape up and just keep going. She mixed up a slew of dance styles, just followed whatever she as feeling or hearing in the music - which was perfectly matched to what we play, a mixture of ten or more genres. Sometimes she actually embarrassed her daughter with this "wild behavior" - it's usually the other way around. All of them were just the nicest people. By some odd quirk of fate, they left after last weekend - so she missed this extraordinary occurrence. Another way to look at it is it took all these people to make up for her absence.
