Re: New mandolin hero
Don,
Can you please give us the name of the musician(s) and the tunes? I'm not getting the video links.

"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

New mandocello hero?
Keizo Ishibashi. He appears to be the Jake Shimabukuro of the mandolin. Pretty ridiculous chops on display there.

Thanks, Don. Keizo Ishibashi is certainly impressive. I especially liked his take on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." I don't know if that's been posted above or not. If not:

By the way, a friend and colleague, who used to play banjo with Bill Monroe was invited to speak at a Japanese bluegrass conference in the 1990's. He said that the musicians were very good, and showed us videos to prove his point. The bands all came complete with cowboy hats. I didn't play mandolin at the time, so didn't notice whether the straps were over the right shoulder. No doubt, some of these bands are on YouTube.
