I opened the summer concert series in front of Maple Ridge City Hall. Fun song.
Kala tenor ukulele, Mandobird, Godin A8, Dobro Mandolin, Gold Tone mandola, Gold Tone OM, S'oarsey mandocello, Gold Tone Irish tenor banjo, Gold Tone M bass, Taylor 214 CE Koa, La Patrie Concert CW, Fender Strat powered by Roland, Yamaha TRBX174 bass, Epiphone ES-339 with GK1
Lucky I had battery power. we got hit with wind storms and power is still out in many parts of the lower mainland. I had to pull those tree limbs back to set up... I printed this song out the night before, figured the chords on guitar and decided right there to play on mandolin instead.. couldn't do this solo without the vocal harmonizer hehe. One of those times you are listening to music and hear a song and say omg I have to do that song tomorrow moments

Dang Jordan your amazing. That wasn't noodling. That was a fine dish of pasta by a master.

It's your year, Jordan. I'll be in the crowd rooting for you. I'm Stumpy, from Shoo Goo camp.

Exquisitely done!
I wouldn't change a thing; that's a winning routine right there!
And nice to show the capabilities of the Gibson F5 mandolin; that it can shine in any genre, for it was made as a "classical" music type of instrument anyway (at least it's upgrades/enhancements that Loar made)
You and your Sam Bush are killer!

Is your Gilchrist X-braced?

Hello,DataNick.
Thank you for having you evaluate it. I pursue a mandolin play like Monroe!

Thanks, Nick. I play this mando. for 27years that has parallel braced.

I posted this a couple weeks ago- Video/Song is The Worrying Kind. Artist- Fauxgrass (www.fauxgrassmusic.com). We're a Michigan based, touring band. This is a promo for the upcoming album. Enjoy!
Sorry for the late post, but I just watched the first video, and Holy Cow!....Great stuff! I love the musical configuration and the small pub atmosphere just looks tremendous!...I've just got to take that European trip now and make it a mando journey thru the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, etc.
Thanks a bunch for posting!

Just because Journeybear pushed me into trying this one
I had to transpose it down so I could sing it

Here's a recording of me performing Thile's "Song for a Young Queen"
I want to redo it at some point as this was years ago, and I feel I've improved in timing and such since then. But thanks for listening!
