Thanks Jonas! I enjoyed both songs. On the Christmas in Prison song, the singer looks a bit like a young John Prine, and even sounds a little like him. Are you all natives of Sweden? The voices sound very American.

Yes, we're all swedes. Born in the wrong part of the world perhaps? :)
Dang! Forgot to pst these ... With two more days until the Twelve Days end, I can still get these under the wire ... So enjoy, along with your eleven pipers piping! :)
Very nice, Jonas! You guys have a great sound going. Enjoyed both songs.
Well, will be a while before I get good enough with the mandolin, and been brushing up on better vocals with the didgeridoo since this one taken 3 years ago for a 60 Second Didgeridoo entry. Miss that group, as we'd challenge three others to play their didgeridoo for only 60 seconds, and they had a month to respond to the challenge and challenge three others if they wanted.
It was when others invaded the group and were playing past 60 seconds, or were trying to pawn their wares that a lot of us ended up leaving. The moderators I think fell asleep.
Anyone that knows the didgeridoo can play up to an hour easily or beyond pending their lips cooperate. Longest I've played was 3 hours. Once you know circular breathing then playing is a snap
So here's me out at Mann Creak Forest playing the didge that was new to me only a few months prior. As for mandolin I'm still learning to play, then going to try and add the didgeridoo. Wondering if there is a pedal that can be used to beat a native American rawhide drum too?

Philip Lipsky has been an inspiration on didge playing and adding extra sounds. And he may have also giving me the mandolin bug (again) - even though he plays an Irish Bouzouki.
I like his setup. :)

Even encouraged him to make albums over the years, and he went to Bandcamp and has four albums now and is getting well known for his works.
Hope I did not break any rules for adding Philip Lipsky's video. He had better, this was a short demo video he made.
I thought I'd give this post a bump and post my version of "Lady be Good" that I also posted on the jazz thread. I honestly don't know if my version even qualifies as being jazz but I sure loved learning and playing with it. Let me know and I hope you like it. :mandosmiley:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2av8xPTja2c
I don't know much about jazz, and I'm rubbish at improvisation. But, for what it's worth, I really enjoyed that! Great playing up and down the neck, really confident slides, and above all great musicality and respect for the melody. Bravo!
I enjoyed it, Frank.
That's awesome, Frank. Well done.
What mandolin is that? I enjoy both the look and the sound of it.

Woah, Traveling Tracks, you're ripping! That sounds fantastic. Your playing is so clean and lively. I really enjoyed that!
Here's me doing a very short etude from August Watters' classical book. Been playing for 5 weeks now!

Thanks......to return a compliment....this is really good too especially for playing such a short time....guessing you've been playing guitar for awhile and just made the switch......stick with it.....you have excellent sensitivity and tone!
Last night in Madrid, Spain.

Absolutely love the mandolin tone on that clip . . . and the Jimmie Rodgers-inspired 'Gracias' on the back was funny.
Finally put a new clip on you-too.... couple Cape Breton favourites.
Johnny Wilmot’s Fiddles and Tarbolton Lodge.
Well, most of them.

Seven by Seven on my Daley Standard F Mandolin
Nicely played, and great acoustics! You obviously actually practise the mandolin, while I just surf the forum and watch other people play. :grin:
Not much of a video - my first youtube video production - but this is the result of struggling for a while to convert an audio file to video so I could share it more easily.
Note fashionable headgear. Natch. :cool:

My birthday present to myself this year was to visit my dear friend Patti Rothberg. Her birthday present to me was to make good on a promise made four years ago (which I'd quite forgotten) - to record our favorite jam, "Morning Dew."
I thought we would just go out to a park and do some pickin' an' grinnin' for the ducks and such. Instead, we spent a couple of hours multi-tracking in her home studio. Here's what we ended up with.
My concept is very much akin to Grateful Dead, as that's who hipped me to this song to begin with, and whose version runs through my mind at any given time. She was quite taken with the original version as written and performed by Bonnie Dobson, whose high singing voice inspired her backing vocals.
It may be a bit rough in places, but we had fun. The arrangement, such as it is, was conjured up on the fly;. Maybe we'll revisit this sometime, and add the Pigpen and Jerry parts. ;) Meanwhile, we have this. Enjoy! :mandosmiley:
Love it J Bear! One of my favorite tunes from the Dead's repetoire.
Here's a clip from a show we played on 09/21/18 at Dazzle in Denver.

Thanks! Al
Ok you asked for it. This is me noodling on open strings. I haven't played it in a while but I tuned it up, and it plays ok open. But when fretted it goes sharp-the saddles are flat topped.
Can't afford a decent one, can't even afford a set up. Oh well, its ok for messing on.
