    This heated up nicely! Really a sweet mix. I love the drumming! With a good bass player this would be a fun trio!

    I'm hardly an expert on jazz fusion, but what a fun and energetic performance! Good to see an electric on Mandolin Mondays played with such skill. Note: if you are intrigued by this first minute and a half, you owe it to yourself to see the other six minutes on Instagram and find out where they go. Otherwise, it's like reading the first two chapters of a novel and stopping . . . .

    Well, different fr. the usual Mandolin Mondays! I like the drumming w. the mando.

    Jonah wanted everyone to know the full version is on his Instagram page here.

    FYI, on Instagram there is already a bunch of scam business going on, someone apparently with a username similar to David's telling people they've won and likely requesting some kind of 1) information, or 2) money in order to collect. Can't be sure.

    David is having people tag 5 others and like his page in order to be eligible to win, so anyone that doesn't have an Instagram account will not be eligible. This is creating a lot of reaction, but possibly some things that you may not like. Impossible for us to tell if this will get shut down or not. Proceed at your own... amusement.

    Love it!
    I've been trying to learn this with the help of a tool I made called LoopTube, which lets me set a looping segment and slow it right down.
    Thought I'd share the link as it might help others to practice and learn...

    A very good player. He gets a beautiful sound from his mandolin.

    I detect a quote or two in there from Brillancy, no? Smart music. Thanks as always for bringing these folks into the mix.

    Beautiful! Just bought a copy of the album.
    I've also been enjoying the Safe Harbor collaboration with Baron Collins-Hill.

    Great tune - coincidentally I had a shot at transcribing it a few days ago https://thesession.org/tunes/23489

    Exceptional playing - touch, tone and feeling. Beautiful.

    That's bostin, that is, David - and big congrats on 400 and the beautiful '23 snakehead, too!

    One of the things I like about your playing here is the lack of craziness. A minimum of finger movement, no finger busting, or long reaches, no huge flying blind shifts up the neck. To the casual observer (not any of us mind you) it all just looks reasonable.

    Great job.

    Very nice tone and playing! I think that is a special Gibson snakehead.

    Congrats on 400! Wow. Thanks for all those Mandolin Mondays, and for the beautiful rendition of the Bach Prelude.

    What a sweet-sounding Mandolin Monday— this makes my day! Thanks,David!

    1. great "song selection"

    2. very well played!

    3. very nice mandolin with a teriffic sound

    4. nice camera work (by whom?) and overall video (including the sound department)

    5. teriffic idea, this Mandolin Monday; it is a No 1 resource to get to know the instrument its potential and their protagonists. Not only is this a labor of love but it pays off for anyone who is interested in this instrument and the music it can make.

    6. Chapeau and cheers for the next 8 years

    Sounds great, David. What strings do you have on that snakehead?
  35. mandopops's Avatar
    Well done, David. I agree with you, I love playing Bach pieces on my vintage Gibson ovals. The sound is so engaging.

    Congratulations on hitting 400, David. Fantastic achievement that has done an amazing job of capturing & preserving Mandolin history. And celebrating with such a gorgeous piece of music, beautifully played as well.
    Can't wait to see what you do for the 500th edition

    Wonderful playing and a wonderful instrument. I've never encountered a Shippey here in the US but I hope to someday. Love the sound. Thanks!

    Simply beautiful tune and exquisite playing. The Shippey is a gorgeous instrument.
