When I saw Dennis and Meredith on youtube play this as a duet on guitar and mandolin banjo, I knew I had to work it up! It is a bugger to get through, but it is finally to the point where I thought I could post it.
It is dedicated to Hans for building me such an amazing mandolin! :mandosmiley: This is my first posting of it in action since the first couple of videos I made when I first got it in August. I have had some finger troubles and the guitar does not bother it for whatever reason but I missed playing this baby! It has opened up a bunch, and it likes J75s more than the 74s that I am accustomed to. Took me a bit to get used to the little frets but I am pretty much moved in now and we grow closer each day!!;)
This arrangement is from Steve Kaufman’s book “Flatpicking the Rags and Polkas.” It is arranged and tabbed for guitar but I arranged it for the mandolin. My apologies to Steve, any butchering is certainly unintentional!! :))
