That sounds better every time I listen to it! Thanks.

Great performance of a great tune. It also should be said that Eastman is making really good mandolins.
Josh proves it.

Thanks for posting!

Beautiful!!

Very nice playing. And yes, that's a great sounding Eastman. One of the better ones I've heard. Thanks for posting this!

Very nice! That is probably the best sounding Eastman I've ever heard! I played some older ones when they first came out and they were rea dogs! That one is splendid, great tone and volume right there!

Very Nice! Really enjoyed that tune.

Love us some O'Carolan. Great way to start the day. Thank you Joshua and David Benedict.

David, your music is delightful. Love the cross picking, it's remarkable!

Putting sall my troubles away listening to this!! Wonderful!

Such a full sound from 2 instruments and 2 voices. Beautiful!

Brilliant

Wow! That was beautiful.

Great tone from both of them!

That’s a great version!

This is a magic song and video. A treat, indeed. Thanks for all that you continue to do.

I really Love it, Great stuff!

Very nice, thank you for this treat. David, we saw you in Gainesville Fl, at a house concert. Another treat.

David and Tabitha, that is amazing!! Well done. Great start to a Monday morning.

You two are sounding great! Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to say that I obtained the transcription collection and it’s keeping me playing during isolation! Lots of fun and it’s doable with practice.

sounded great Baron, and thank you for your time and effort with the lessons on your website.

Enjoyed your playing and the sound of that fine Ellis on a very nice tune. Thanks!

Nice playing. What a great teacher, and mandolessons.com is a fabulous resource. Thanks Baron.

Baron is a great instructor - I'm proud to be a MandoLessons alumni!

Thanks everyone, and thanks to David for having me!

Thanks! The tune is Old French

I fell in love with the instrument, and fiddle tunes, thanks to your lessons. Thanks for launching me on the journey.

Great tune Baron! What is the name of it?

Barron is a gem and we love him for his great skills as a player and a teacher.

Many thanks for making the start of my mando journey smooth and enjoyable.

Love it. Good work! And thank for the videos. They’re a great resource.

Welcome, Baron! Nicely played, great mandolin for sure.

Hey now, that was pretty tasty!

Dig it! Thanks, Baptiste.

FF if Ed week wash raw we egl

Great tune, well played. Welcome, Baptiste.

Effectively mutilated indeed. Certainly the playing was cool and effective. Nice job.

i'm speechless....

Indeed. The mando might be 'mutilated', but I think it sounds very effective. He seems quite a cool character altogether, judging from the range of music he's been involved in.

Very cool!

Wow, great touch. I remembered Daniel's name from a very long time ago, as in a high school student that wrote a paper in 1998 that got shared on this site. Hadn't looked at it in years. Had to use Google to find it.

....Wow...plays like the wind!....

This is why I love Mandolin Mondays and the Mandolin Cafe. Obrigado, Danilo! Obrigado, David! Obrigado, Scott!
