    Thanks for sharing! I wish the surf would quite down so we could hear the music better.

    This is a great study, anyone else hearing 9/4 time?

    my thoughts were that she was playing to the sound of the surf-of course her skill is such that she may have dropped into a pattern naturally that just goes with the flow. i love this type of mandolin playing. wish one of the top shelf people would do a whole album-just one mandolin in "slow" with space between the notes(Sierra, John Reischman,Emory Lester,Ashely Broder). i think it can be harder to play slow and have space. this type of music is reflective and restoring.

    here's John R playing(watch that right hand-reminds me of movement of a fine watch when you take the back off and sit and look at it with amazement) a little more embellished and a little faster version of Little Maggie, followed by the version on his album, "Walk Along John", the one that grabbed me the first time i heard it.

    I saw this ( Sierra playing LMW on the beach) pretty early East Coast Time on Saturday, enjoyed the listen, I've been posting tunes on the facebook page of the local Bluegrass Jam at a place called the Rustic Barn up in Speigletown NY, and about 6 weeks ago had posted "Lonesome Moonlight Waltz" as the tune for the Sunday January 16th session ( we meet for exclusive BG one a month), we didn't get around to it until late so it was a thin group on stage but 2 mandos ,a guitar and bass worked well. We did Bela's "Slipstream" last month using the Matt Flinner transcription, after few false starts it flew pretty well even with the change from 4/4 to 3/4 and back. Well anyway interesting timing from Sierra on that tune, though there seems to be some kind of wave I am bobbling on lately.

    @darylcrisp, I also love the slower version that John did of Little Maggie. It caught my ears too right away.
