Click #016/ Born on 2/29/08 - Sold to the next Conservator of this great mandolin!
The search has ceased! (At least for now)

White #29R : Oh my!! This one is so AWESOME!!
"My Dog and Me" by John Hiatt, great song
This version of "Old Shep" was my first youtube post. No mandolin, sorry.
This is a fun song...
Frankdolin, the Red Peter tune is not particularly clever in my opinion, just crass.
Just sayin’ family friendly forum and all.

One of my favorites, by Bruce "Utah" Phillips (you can skip the train sound effects; his whole Good Though album had train noises interspersed with the music):
Allen Hopkins
Gibsn: '54 F5 3pt F2 A-N Custm K1 m'cello
Natl Triolian Dobro mando

Flatiron 3K OM
I saw Bruce do that tune maybe half a dozen times, every time it would raise the hair on the back of my neck! I miss his stage presence and his after the show “approachability”. He made a kid of 17 feel as much a part of the group as if I’d been playing for thirty years! I really thought his old Guild F-50 was one fabulous guitar too!

Here's one my daughters loved. "Dog" by Eddie and Martha Adcock.

This is a favorite, and would adjust nicely to a bluegrass treatment.
Towser Jenkins by Jim Ringer

"Anything worth doing is worth doing badly"
Thanks Hobotom!
“Once I had a yeller Dog, his name was Towser Jenkins.
The butcher cut his tail off with a cleaver.
Towser had his mark on every dog in town,
And once he’d had his bite, he’d never leave her.”
Great song!
