First Video - Loar LM520VS

[robinsondd]

Hey all,

I bought my first mandolin last March from Janet Davis Music and really enjoy it. I was introduced to the mando back in the early 80's (I'm 55) and thought I would like to play one but never did buy one. Here is my attempt at a song called "Temperance Reel". It's my favorite right now. It's kind of slow and I'd had a few beverages but what the heck.

I tried to watch it but, I would have had to sign up for Facebook. There are many people like me who will never join Facebook. Could you embed the video here on the cafe for all to enjoy.

Thanks George,

Obviously, I didn't think about that. Anyone know how to upload attachments? Tks...

Hi David:
Very nice job! I really like that "down the fretboard" camera angle!
Good stuff.
Oh, and you can set your privacy setting on your Facebook videos so that anyone (even non-Facebook users) can see them. I do it for all of my videos because I find the video quality on FB much better than on YouTube. Here's how to do it:
* Go to your video on your Facebook page
* Click "Edit Video"
* Set the privacy to "Everyone"
* Click save.

Nice job. Since I'm a fellow The Loar owner and a fan of Temperance Reel here's a nice modest paced jam along. Enjoy.
