A brand new mandola!

[Pasha Alden]

Thanks Barry

Will definitely share.

Yes, it becomes harder to show both of the other mandolins love!

Thanks Barry. Will definitely share this.

It certainly becomes difficult to show all the instruments love.

Happy playing

I play the same places so often I am always looking for easy stuff to add to keep the repertoire fresh. I'm up to about 250 songs now (I play 75-80 in a day). I did that song last night and was surprised how well it was received. you can't always get what you want works well on mandola. the little piano run I do double stops to replicate. I restrung mine with light strings this week and find it much easier to play now.

what songs are you playing on yours?

[Pasha Alden]

One of my own, titled autumn.
Then I play songs from SteeleySpan, Simon Art Garfunkel, Heart, Working on Battle of Evermore the version of Heart. Needs loads of perfecting! <smile> You sure have a repertoire going there!

Here you are with your mandola - the happy couple! Both quite lovely.

Hello Pasha, I am so happy for you, and also a bit envious! You are quite a pair. Really -- Jeff Cowherd makes beautiful instruments and they sound exquisite! Your mandola is particularly stately. I would love to hear it. Have you given it a name? Dan

Hi Dan, her name is autumn. You can understand why? Those rich browns and orange colours? <smile> my thanks for your kindly remarks! Very kind.

[Pasha Alden]

Thank you Chuck, that is so very kind. Love love my mandola.

hi again Dan, Jeff Cowherd makes beautiful instruments!

If I ever get to the US again, I promise to bring her along and perhaps, who knows, maybe I can jam with some mandofriends. Not because I'm any good, merely for good fun!

Pasha, We would love to jam with you, to be sure. Look me up. Yes, Jeff is a terrific guy and an amazing artist. Keep playing and singing! Dan

Hi Dan, Many thanks for the kind words. I have a few videos of my playing on FB. Have just not mastered the art of dragging them over here. Will still get there. It is something about hovering on the link, a little tricky to do with speech.
