OK, that mandolin had a great voice brand new, but to my ear, it's developed a whole lot by this tune. It sounds incredible. And your playing does too. Please keep this going--best thead on the cafe.

Here's a Paddy O'Brien's Hornpipe for my week 7 tune of the Tune-A-Week project, only played it once through because not much memory left on the camera:

Having a new tune from you every week on that wonderful mandolin makes me very happy.

What a great project to undertake, Jill. I am sure you will see it through, much to the delight of all of us who listen to you regularly.

Jill, How do you learn all these songs so quick ??? It takes me a LONG time to learn one new song ! Let's see, there is something called talent and youth ! I lack both !
Determined to not be late this week! Here's Week 11's tune for the Tune A Week project - a Mike McGoldrick jig called "Lost in Blackstick":

Sounds excellent!
Keep em' coming...
They sound great Jill. I am amazed at how fluid your playing is, and that you can post a tune every week.

Nice playing, Jill. Your right hand triplets seem so smooth and effortless...I struggle with those. Need more practice I guess. Thanks for posting; this is a good thread to follow!

Thanks Jill! That was really helpful. I am skipping most of the two note chords and that’s helping it flow, at least for now (in case anyone else attempts this). Really amazing how fluid your playing is, harder than it initially appeared- thanks so much for posting these and challenging us folks!
