Two recent Cds showcase great mandolin work and deserve a large audience. "Get Away" by the Mando Mafia (their fifth recording) demonstrates a great band, tasteful playing and interesting music from this good band from around Charlottesville, Virginia. It is a continuation of a tight sound found on their previous Cds. Kelly's Gregory mando is beautiful sounding. "Picking Up Steam" by Johnny Staats and Robert Shafer will make you slack-jawed and smiling at the same time. Give them a listen, Doug
