    Great New Year's resolution. I'm happy to watch every week a new video from you playing your new mandolin.

    Great picking! I love the sound of that mandolin! I haven’t played an oval hole that I actually liked the sound of, but that sounds like it has a nice balanced sound. If I was to ever get an oval hole I would definitely look into one like yours!

    Very nice playing and a sweet sounding mandolin too. Good luck, that's a lot of tunes in one year.

    Thanks for the kind words folks - I had actually contemplated doing a Tune-A- DAY project and would have done so if I had a way to leave my recording gear set up permanently but tiny apartment living with 3 dogs does not allow for that kind of luxury!

    Thanks Jill, nice playing, and great sound on that oval. Now you have me looking into a Girouard oval hole!

    Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I'm still using the TPR35. I sometimes switch between it and a Kenny Smith 35 - the KS35 is tiny but gets great tone, some days my preference is for the feel of holding a bigger pick and some days I like how with the Kenny Smith 35 it almost feels like you're not holding anything!

    Ah, I'm kind of using this project to add to my irish trad repertoire as I didn't learn as many tunes last year as I had originally intended to, so this will be an all ITM project - sorry!

    Bah - late with Week 4's tune because last week was crazy, but here 'tis! Week 5 tune coming up on Thursday or Friday! This is a jig called "Creeping Docken", that goes well played after "Peter Byrne's Fancy", which was my Week 1 tune!
