SWEET!

Wonderful culmination of many year's' hard work. Sounds great!

Amazing! Would love to hear your take on the Sarabande from that Partita.

Bravo! Nicely done! Very moving. Thank you, C.E., for sharing!

Very nice (as I said about the mentioned Bach Goldberg Variations that were presented in some article here).

Did you notice the breathing? I noticed Tony Rice breathing on the Tone Poems I recordings. This goes to show that a recording "echoes" not only the notes played but depending on how the recording is done it also lets you hear pick noise, breathing and what not. Sometimes it´s a nice side effect, sometimes not.

The video shows the amount of work that goes into playing such a piece. Well done!

Yes sir! "Chairman of the Fingerboard."

Sweet swinging sounds!

I second that "Wowzer"!

Wowzer

Thanks for swingin' by Mandolin Mondays, Don! I see the resemblance...

Sublimely swingin', and properly spiced with just the right amount of jazz face. Thanks maestro!

Always love listening to standards played by Don!!! Thanks, Don, for sharing!!

Wow, thanks David and Don

Some serious tone and arrangement! Well done.

Awesome!

Nice to hear the mandolin from India!

I really enjoy hearing Diptanshu play. Dagger

Where can I hear more of Eva Scow's playing?

Enchanting. Thanks so much for sharing those few moments with us.

Splendid play, as always!

Wow. New fan here!

Brilliant, just brilliant!

Too marvelous for words! (I think that's another song.) The amount of time, skill, and effort that went into producing this quiet marvel is astounding and much appreciated.

Great mandolin player and great mandolin!!

Great. I always love hearing Eva Scow, and it's always enjoyable to watch a musician who clearly loves making music.

Brilliant (as usual!).

I just love listening to Eva Scow! So glad that she's on Mandolin Mondays and I really look forward to someday seeing her in person!

Just wonderful! Thanks so much so sharing.

Terrific, wonderful, swingin' and singin'! Chord melody rules!

Great groove! Super clean playing! Wonderful! Thank you, Eva, for sharing!

All that, and with a smile...

Sweet…great feel and tone.

So beautiful.

Ms. Scow makes it look easy but she's not fooling me. Very musical.

Just great! Thank you!

This was nice no matter what you threw in or left out.

Great job, David! Nice tone, even at that tempo, and so clean. I know just enough to understand something about the focus required for that. And very inventive too. The couple of instances where you add a little extra tension really sets it off, and a few b3rds scattered around, some chromaticism, it all seemed very intentional...I listened to it three times.

I kept listening for the "bebop phrasing" but couldn't hear it, so i printed off the PDF. Nope, straight 8ths except for those syncopated beginning phrases that are just typical old-time fiddler, and not a rest anywhere in the piece, much less an 8th rest, and all the phrases are pretty even. I'll keep looking.

What a great tune! As always, wonderful picking!! Thanks for sharing, David!

Ah David, as a band mate said to me nearly 30 years ago after a rather extravagant fiddle break, "stick to the melody son". Nice job even with the Bebop phrasing.

Great stuff! most excellent, thank you.

Wow!

Yes!

Most enjoyable!
