No picture, but I guess this is the place to post tunes as well. I've been recording some originals with a dream band I assembled just for the sessions. They are fantastic musicians, and I'm very pleased with the results. I've uploaded four of the tunes to my Sound Click page:

Two country/bluegrass items, a musette and a choro. It's my first real attempt at bluegrass. There's still some clean-up work to do, but these preliminary versions will give an idea.
Thanks for listening.

Great! pickin' Bruce.
That Mowry fits you and your music well. I remember your alpha versions of Fifi Moulin you posted earlier, great team work there. I really like Combustabilidade. Can you give us some insight on how you came up with this name?

Sounds great, Bruce! I love the addition of fiddle and dobro.

Thank you, gents! I agree, Hank and Andrew, it's great to hear the mandolin in a real group context, and we're fortunate here in Vancouver to have a big pool of really fine players to call on.
Hank, I must admit I find it much easier to write tunes than to name them. In Brazilian songs we always hear about Melancholy (Saudade), Happiness (Felicidade), and so on, but never Combustibility. I guess warmth and pyrotechnics are both implied.
