Here is a gem. Slippery Kate, written by a fiddler/mandolinner friend of mine. Play it a few times and you will not be able to stop.
I can easily imagine this tune taking over the fiddle tune universe.
There is a section in the tune, I won't point it out, where the mandolin can do things the fiddle can't - to amazing effect. That is something I like to take notice of. Its an effect I hear in the "Dallas Rag", another amazing tune, and an effect I will be incorporating into my repertory of fun licks.
Enjoy.
I have the composer's permission to post, and you have the composers permission to play the tune, just please attribute it to her in any public performance or recording.
