    Default Kes aias? (Estonian circle game song)

    This is music from my childhood, circle game song “Kes aias?” (Who is in the garden?), swing version.

    Toomas, do you have classical guitar training in your background? Thumb squarely on back of the neck prompted me to ask.

    Yes, I have a background as a guitar player, also classical. A lot of my mandolin playing technique comes from there.

    Myself included. Your fingers arched over the fretboard in the style I am familiar with .......... thumb firmly planted in middle of neck. I still struggle playing mando but love the instrument so I will continue on. 'Who is in the garden' is a nice melody. Thank you for it.

    Love it, Toomas! Reminds me of a mixture of Katzantzakis music and Jethro Burns. For everyone's convenience.
