Goodbye Liza Jane
Big Liza Jane
Trying to get ready for Winfield. Come by and see us. 14th St. Big Yellow bus nosed out toward the street. Abbey Road in the destination slot above the windshield. The relic camper in my avatar will be right off his rear bumper. Straight south of the grandstand. Bring Jamesons.

Sail Away Ladies......version by Kenny Smith....Adam Steffey on mandolin :-)
I'm working on Big Bear, a Métis fiddle tune by John Arcand. It's a minor key thing that to me has a little Monroe flavour to it.

We played "Logan County Blues" last night. It's now in my head, so it's as good as known.

Leather Britches on clawhammer banjo. I can't play it on the fiddle to save my life, maybe later I'll work on it for mandolin.
Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Favorite Mandolin of the week: 2013 Collings MF Gloss top.
East Tennessee Blues. Learning the version from the Roland White book. Think I may have it up to speed by next week. Also working on Foggy Mountain Breakdown, which I think may be one of those loooooooong term projects in terms of being able to play it at the speeds typically chosen by banjo pickers.
I've been playing around with Georgia Railroad for the past week or two, still might do a little to arrange it a bit more and put some variations in there. Fun tune though, I drew from a Norman Blake fiddle version for my inspiration...

East Tennessee Blues is now in the repertoire. Foggy Mountain Breakdown...errrr...I'm just giving up on that one. Finally getting around to learning Red Wing as of this morning.
That and Sally Ann are two of my favorite tunes on fiddle. I learned it from the outtakes of that movie Songcatcher--I think with Cate Blanchette...a mediocre movie with some superlative musical segments. I forget who did the fiddling on that tune. I rented the movie just to learn that tune, as I remembered it in one of the scenes.

Most recent one I have down is Liberty... now on to Fisher's Hornpipe.
Not sure why, but I enjoy figuring these out on mandolin waaaay more than I ever did on guitar. They're like fun little puzzles. Mandolin Sudoku, if you will.
