Mandolin Mondays #199 w/ Special Guest Solly Burton

Rating: 1 votes, 5.00 average.
3-time Winfield Mandolin Champion Solly Burton brings us a swinging arrangement of this baseball classic played beautifully on his 2018 Pava F5.



Solly is an unassuming jet ski mechanic and farmer from Indiana, but he's been impressing many with his mandolin prowess since a young age. He won his first Winfield Walnut Valley National Mandolin Championship at the age of 16 and has gone on to win two other times. The Pava mandolin in this video is his latest prize from Winfield in 2018. When he's not farming or raking in the mandolin awards, he plays in a local Indiana duo with the guitar player Brent McPike and teaches mandolin and guitar students.

And as always, tune in next week for more Mandolin Mondays! Until then...

Happy Picking!
David
