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.
Looking forward to a tune from you every week!

Wow, impressive undertaking, Jill! Looking forward to watching for this. Great job on that one, your triplets always amaze me. And the Girouard is sounding fabulous!

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!
What strings do you have on it?

You're my new favorite player !! Still using that BC TPR35 pick ? How about Woodchoppers Breakdown ?
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!

[QUOTE=Jill McAuley;1697621]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---I thought this song was an Irish traditional song or had Irish roots so I was wrong !
Awesome, Jill, thank you!

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!
