Thanks to John Kelly, Bertram and Hendrik for their kind comments on the two John Goodin waltzes I recorded last week! Here is another of John Goodin's waltzes, written in May 2017 to celebrate his purchase of a vintage Gibson F4. John's score and his own recording are at: http://www.mandotopia.com/smt2017/OldGibson.pdf http://www.mandotopia.com/smt2017/OldGibson.mp3 John has written two separate harmony parts for this tune and his own recording starts with just melody and guitar backing, then adds first one and then the other harmony part as it builds. I've combined the parts a bit differently, using the first harmony part initially and switching to the second one on the repeat. I'm also playing the tune a bit slower than John, mainly because the final triplet phrase is a bit fiddly and I haven't got it up to speed yet. The photos chosen to go with the tune show my very own old Gibson, as played on the recording, along with some vintage Gibson catalogue pictures. 1921 Gibson A-Jr mandolin (x2) Vintage Viaten tenor guitar Martin
Nicely played and thanks for posting. Our little group plays 3 of John's tunes now and we when we are ready to add more I'll be suggesting this one. It's quite lovely.
