I don't think this fits into any of the recognised mandolin genres, so I post in in the general sound files forum.
This is a very simple instrumental cover of my favourite Jacques Brel song, "Amsterdam", played on mandolin with tenor guitar accompaniment. Nothing fancy, but I've tried to channel some of Brel's intensity, ramping up the crescendo throughout the song.
No shortage of suitable art to go with the song -- seedy port scenes have been a visual trope for painters for centuries, with accordions, mandolins and all the rest thrown in for good measure.
Played on an antique Italian bowlback mandolin and a parlour-sized tenor guitar.
