Here's a word from Justin about the tune and mandolin in this video. "This version of the fiddle tune 'Foolin' Around' is adapted from Aubrey Haynie's version on his album Doin' My Time. Sierra and I play it with twin mandolins sometimes in our duo shows, but it's a fun one to play on the mandolin in general. The mandolin is a distressed Weber Fern that Sierra has owned for years. It has become the mandolin I play most of the time now. It's got a great woody bark to it--sounds like a bluegrass mandolin to me in the best kind of way. "
