    Stringalong, if you open Simon’s video in YouTube, then click the text right below the video, all the information you want is there. I also like this one, and especially that C chord (“the major lift”) in the B part.

    Thanks! I'll check out this tab. It's also on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOW...nnel=JohnKelly without a capo. It's in Am here.

    Ha, ha, actually there’s a bit of a discussion at John’s birthday thread here. https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/g...954&do=discuss
    He plays it the right way in Am, but not with Ye Olde English rhythm.
    -a rhythm once loved never forgotten
    -although John Spiers and Jon Boden play it in jig rhythm.
    -although they play it in Dm

    Note: please don’t visit the above thread without wishing John a happy birthday. Thank you.

    The Minor Rigged Ship is similar in some ways, it’s a ship, but it’s quite different.

    I often tend to work on tunes in groups. Presently playing Texas (a.k.a. Newcastle), Roscoe, and Georgia (a.k.a. Ain't No Hell in Georgia). Also dusting off a slow oooky version of Hog Eyed Man (a.k.a. Sally in the Garden).
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    Now I'm retooling all my fiddle tunes to the octave mandolin. Pinky struggles! Position struggles! Tempo struggles!

    Having a blast!

    You’re welcome, of course. Be sure to listen to the Montana Mandolin Society do their take on it.

    That's it! I got it originally when they first came out. At that time I was building a duet repertoire with a guitar player and I was focused on my mandolin. Now with COVID, not doing that! So, I tuned it up and walk about the yard playing my tunes. I'm having a few struggles and a few successes. Just challenging my brain and my fingers!

    Really enjoying the sound; however. And, it's good for technique to wrangle such a beast!

    Spending time learning and relearning a few rags. Once you learn one, it gets easier to learn many others.
