diddling around on my acoustic stealing bits and pieces here and there I guess from melodies I had heard...anyway if I ever get around to it I'm gonna see how my mandolin and acoustic get along on my little melody piece...still kinda shabby and recorded on phone
I've been working on As Time Goes By. I'm hoping to add a bass track, but I keep getting off beat for the bridge. Maybe if I throw in a pick up note at the beginning...

Another of your little gems, Jo. They demonstrate the instruments so well.

Fine playing Jo, thanks for posting that.
I went out to the woods last week and did some rough recording.
Lockdown is relaxing a bit here. Hope things are peaceful and safe wherever you are.

We played the tune called Kentucky Mandolin of Bill Monroe.

Once upon a time, there was a band called Tin Can Alley. And I was in it. It was my first real band. Fiddle, mandolin, guitar. Added a bass soon enough. Eventually pedal steel and a female singer, too. We started out playing the usual 60s stuff - The Band, The Dead, The Beatles, etc. We had to make a change, and we got into swing, Western swing, some Southern rock, and more.
This just showed up. It's from a little music festival in Canaan CT, in 1981, I think, and not too well recorded - but pretty well played, if I say so myself. We worked on our arrangements, and came up with some nice touches, like the doubled riffs here, in unison and harmony. This dates from the Dark Ages - before cell phones and wall-to-wall videos, so there aren't any videos of us. Indeed, this is the first time I've ever even seen a photograph of us. Enjoy!
Dave Bradford - fiddle, lead vocal
Lou Florio - guitar, harmony vocal
Steve Gibson - mandolin

Got no compassion, thinks its a sin
All he does is sit around an play the Mandolin"
Great stuff Tim. I love that layered sound.

Nothing fancy here, just new. Got a tip on a gig playing background music, which would suit me just fine. Thought I'd go with a lot of what I used to do at my old Italian restaurant gig. I have no recordings of that, of course. So I whipped up a demo of this old work horse. Not really exemplary, as most of what I used to do were actual Italian folk dances from the Abruzzo region - but recognizable, which is what you want in a demo. Took a few passes, plus passing on tremolo, for the most part. I guess I'll see how it goes, and how well I survive practicing this stuff. I hope my fingers are up to the task. Ah, l la vita e bella! Enjoy!

Thanks for that, Chuck. Other versions of "The Night Pat Murphy Died" or "Pat Murphy's Wake" have passed through oral tradition in different parts of Canada, and undoubtedly other countries. I wish I could find Lennox Gavan's Ottawa Valley version online, but here's Great Big Sea from Newfoundland, tough they're always over the top. I never heard the words as you sang them.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
Lomax, Alan, The Land where The Blues Began, NY: Pantheon, 1993, p.14.
Regarding Great Big Sea, post #2843: They play the common traditional tune for "The Night Pat Murphy Died." Lennox Gavan, mentioned above, sings the same tune for the first four lines of the verse, the A part, but has a different B part for the last four lines.
