hi

[dtb]

this is the last tune I recorded before my stroke. I call it mandomadness.

[LKN2MYIS]

That is just beautiful! Hopefully you will be back doing this in as short a time as possible.

Thank you for posting it.

[SHORTY]

That is just awsome music. I pray for your quick return to playing. Is there any CD's of your music?

[chasray]

Really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hang in there and get better real soon.
I'm curious about the mando you were playing...it has a nice sound.

[dtb]

thanks folks, the tune has 3 mando tracks, if memory serves me, (and it often does not) using my Eastman 615 and my hd28 guitar.
I do have a cd, but it's a folky vocal cd with mild mando backup. I'll post a tune from it here, later today, I got a dentist app. this am.
and I'm glad to say after 2.5 years I'm starting to make 2 fingered chords again. and, although a little buzzy, I can do e minor on the guitar. starting over really sucks.

i was lucky enough to get this cd done just before my stroke. so here's a tune off it. vocal and guitar driven, with mild mando backup.

[wasatch1]

very nice indeed -- I'm at the other end of the learning scale; just learning 2-finger chords for the first time. Thanx for sharing and for the inspiration

[Bob Wiegers]

I like it. the vocals remind me of John Hiatt.

[Dragonflyeye]

That's great, Dan. It would be an unbelievable achievement for me to even come close - ever. I'm a big fan of John Hiatt and hear the similarity, too. I'm 55 and never touched an instrument before last January. I have an Eastman, as well. Although you have to retrain your body, you have an advantage in some ways in that you have so much knowledge in your head. You can probably make some choices on wise shortcuts and/or things to concentrate on (and those not to) that give you an advantage over a greenhorn like me in many ways. Just keep at it!

here's another tune off my first cd, where internet friends joined in by adding tracks. I did the vocal, banjo, guitars, and mando tracks. song written by Joe Rogier from Boston.

[Lee Callicutt]

Tasty stuff, Dan.

[dtb]

thanks Lee

Dan-
The tune sounds nice.
If you don't know, jazz guitarist (Pat Martino, I think) had some similar issue, (stoke or head injury?) and had to re-teach himself guitar. He was not young when this happened.
It can be done. Good luck on the journey.
