post a video of yourself

[billkilpatrick]

i've always wondered how to spell sauchiehall street properly but was too afraid to even try.

This is a short follow up video on tower clocks that features me playing "good morning to your nightcap." I think fits well with the content. The videography is vastly superior to my previous efforts. Now I just need to improve my playing...

[journeybear]

nicely played - you remind me of someone ... a young w.c. fields perhaps? ... wallace beery?

Guess I can't pass for Richard Dreyfuss any more; used to get that a lot. Well, thank you for the young part, anyway ... Though WC was born in 1880, so when he hit his stride (1933-1941) he was mid-fifties to sixty, roughly my age, then he died at 66. So ... damned with faint praise, I reckon ... Such is life. Oh well! All in all, I would rather be in Philadelphia.

Must be the rock 'n' roll keeping me "young." Yeah, that's gotta be it ...

I've been working on "High on A Mountain Top." It's still a work in progress but so far so good! *I Think* :0)

Martin, I knew you were a talented mandolinist but you've got a great singing voice as well.

[mando on the side]

Hi all,

I'd like to share my newer version of Be Thou My Vision. On guitar is my buddy Trevor Strohman. Thanks for listening!

Thank you!

[Plamen Ivanov]

Cell phone camera quality, sorry...

[Benski]

Ed...Nice job on the "Be Thou..." has a real great Thile/"Raining at Sunset" feel to it. The guitarwork is really tasteful too.

[Sam Bush Fan!]

Here's my version of my favorite tune.

trying out some ideas on the wee electric mandolin, its all dirty

[Mandonube]

Here's me fumbling my way through the Bach Presto (violin sonata in g minor). I've been playing mando for just over a month, so go easy on me! Oh, and please excuse the posture - I'm waiting for a strap to arrive from the US.



Rubato is unintentional sorry! I'm still working on the memory (and the fingering).

[Mike Bunting]

A month you say! Marvelous.

[journeybear]

As promised or threatened some time ago, whether or not anyone still cares: an original decomposition that plays on the disparity between bluegrass and regae yet srill finds some common ground. The guitarist-singer came up with this quite independent of yet concurrent with a discusion about this on another thread. I had the brilliant notion of cross-pollinating "No Woman No Cry" into the start of the "reggae" sectionc. I usually use a delay effect on this, which is pretty wiggy. As I recall, this was from a time when my amp was being uncooperative, and I had to sort something ot with it, or bypass it altogether. (That's why I was fussing about before the song.) I ended up being prety P.O.'d, and took it out musically during the first break, which got the guitarist's attention. So it came out a bit more bluegrass than reggae, but not bad, all things considered.

[JeffD]

Perhaps you meant to say that you have been playing that tune for a month.?

Or I think you mean you have been playing that mandolin for a month.

No?

You sound great! For a month you sound amazing.

[OldGus]

As promised or threatened some time ago....

Nice Job, your mando sounds great. If you guys can't play steel drums maybe you could get your hands on one of these .

[Mandonube]

JeffD: Haha thanks! Technically you are right - I had only been playing that particular piece AND that particular mandolin for one month... But before that time, I hadn't played any pieces on any mandolins Really I'm cheating though, because I've played other instruments (ie piano). And I've been practising a lot, which helps.
