Please be gentle ....
the song is by Chuck Berry, but I took an arrangement by Ry Cooder and converted it to Mandolin...
Hope you don't hate it too much...

My first video posts on the cafe. A couple brief tributes to Tom Petty for what would have been his 70th birthday a few weeks ago.

A video of an original tune featuring a Muleskinner Instruments guitar bodied octave mandolin, with Muleskinner Instruments luthier Andy Mueller and his bandmates Chloe and Justin.
Filmed and engineered in the main concert hall at the Chandler Center for the Arts by friend Brian Carroll.
Martin Wynne's number two, done in the Gerald Trimble style, mandocello takes the melody doubled on mandola, over an octave mandolin and mandola chord progression
"Mean Old Timer, He's got grey hair, Mean Old Timer he just don't care
Got no compassion, thinks its a sin
All he does is sit around an play the Mandolin"
I haven't played this song since I was kid ,probably over 50 years. I found a nice backing track on YT and had a blast revisiting, knowing how much has changed since then. Anyway... Played on a Morris flattie with terrible strings. Which are gonna stay that way for now since it's NMD. Waiting impatiently for Fed-Ex. Then 24 HOURS more, Too Cold !![]()
NMD? What are you expecting?
It is cold, isn't it?
Great original song, Andy, and a fine trio of musicians. Super octave as well!

2 years today since our rescue dog rescued us. Used him in livestream promo video taken last week where you can see how intelligent he is by how focused he is on the riveting dialogue, and how much he appreciates fine music! https://youtu.be/yFezpLjhKHA
mmuller, you’re so funny just had to laugh, but you can really play that box and one talented mofo. Hope all is well with you through all of this. Best to you!
I have been neglecting this beautiful instrument for far too long. A guitar bodied octave mandolin built for me by my friend Andy Mueller of Muleskinner Instruments here in central Vermont...but I have good reason, I have been playing the dreadnaught guitar he built me a bit more than mandolin as of late. But as winter descends on us here in the hills I think the tone of this beauty fits right in with the dark seeping in extra early and the chill biting in the air.
Here is a quick multi-track on a holiday tune...
Here’s a little holiday music. Sorry, there is banjo content, but I have managed to bookend it with mandolin.
Fred: That was a lot of fun! I enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing some holiday cheer.
...I'm not a virtuoso but I hope someone enjoys! Greetings
