Friends, here is a video of John Renbourn's Traveller's Prayer arranged for the Ecco Mandolin Ensemble, performed exclusively on Lyon & Healy instruments: a Style B, an asymmetrical style A, a...
I decided I "needed" to go down the Mandola Road, so have been watching for one of these for awhile. This is Northfield Quickstep #4, purchased from Gryphon, and built 100% at the Marshall, Michigan...
Rummaging through some old hard disks recently and came across this mandolin-&-guitar arrangement of Calace's Moto perpetuo, recorded in 2007 in a Shanghai hotel lounge:

I wasn't intending to make a video to post here, however I made a video for my Facebook friends for St. Paddy's Day. It turned out well so I put it on Youtube, and so maybe I should post it here...
I just read that Norman Blake turned 86 on 10th March, and I would like to wish him well.

Thanks for...

It took a good long while and more wheeling and dealing (and spousal apologizing) than I've ever done, but I've managed to put together a full Lyon & Healy Quartet.

You could try using mandolin or fiddle fingering by turning all fingers 45 degrees to the fretboard (all the...
The Crown at Portpatrick.
It’s woodshed time, with a lovely mazurka written by Nigel Gatherer. (Portpatrick is in beautiful Scotland).
Here it’s 200 feet below the snow line near a little village...
Thanks Sue and Chuck! Here's my 1st attempt to cover anything by John Reischman. I mean, the man is a monster. I'd give most anything to be that cool behind the controls... Thanks for the Listen!!...
I tend to move around difficult tunes by practising other, easier tunes in between. This gives me a chance to slowly ooze into the castle of challenge by using back doors I found on the easy detours...
Try break it down in phrases, and get those up to speed. Then try stringing two phrases together, and get those up to speed. Then string a third to the first two, etc. I’ve worked on East...

Having been far too deeply into Bach over the last weeks, I have to thank you for the lesson in counterpoint. Just downloaded the Bandcamp album and look forward a little warmth on a February...
Nice work! Just bought it :)
Awesome Tim! A great opening track full of wonder and exploration. Congrats!!!:mandosmiley:
