That's what I'm talking about Nipper. Awesome rendition of one of the coolest songs ever!
Here's one for you--Fort Smith in G. I really like to play this one (as evident by my inability to stand still).

Hi all,
Here's a clip of a gig I did with double bass player Lucas Beukers. It's recorded with a phone, so the compression is terrible. It sounded a lot better in the room! The excitement of playing with just the two of us got me to speed up a little and I didn't play as relaxed as I like. Still I dig the energy.
New mandolin / double bass cd out! Check www.janoskoolen.nl
Very nice picking, Janos. Great tone.

Steve: Fantastic as always!
You all have such a great groove going on that tune.
Just loved it!

Taking a run on my new Collings 'dola. I have almost played these strings dead this weekend. The recording really doesnt do it justice. It is a fantastic instrument.

Steven that Collings mandola sounds the absolute business! I played one a few months ago in a shop and it was so very nice - congratulations!

@ Brain That was one of the coolest videos (and nicely formatted too) I've seen in sometime I believe. Who'da thunk there was so much work it that cool little pighead! It looks like its 100 years old and sounds great. Were you applying the spirit varnish with a brush? I guess that stuff acts a lot like shellac but dries as a polymer not as a re-soluble finish? I really enjoyed that!

Trying it again. Can one of the mods delete the post above? I guess there's a time limit for editing.

Right on, Don. That looks like a fine group to pick with.
Here's Dawn and I running through "Mississippi Waltz". I don't guess this is like Bill would have played it, but I think that's ok.

Don and Steven - great videos from the both of you! Steven what camera do you use to record your clips?

Hey Jill--I just use my iPhone now. My DSL was down last night so I uploaded it in low quality, but I typically do it in HD. The HD compresses the sound to a single channel as I discovered last night after a quick listen, but considering it is a phone it usually does a fairly good job. The only problem is that seated as we are the guitar drops out a little too much. I think we should probably switch sides.

Ah, maybe I should try recording some clips with my iPhone then - my webcam is on it's last legs, the sound quality on it has really deteriorated.

It works surprisingly well. I do have an HD camera but my enterprising dog ate the adaptor and I haven't replaced it. I propped my phone up and it seemed to do the job. I have tinkered in the past with using my Zoom H2 and layering that over the recording, but it is sort of an intensive process and the result does not seem worthwhile.

Thanks for the nice comments!
Yep, I used a brush for the spirit
varnish. Dries really fast.
Funny you should mention the amount
of work involved. The other day I was
considering another instrument
building project and then watched the
video again. Think I'll wait a little while.

It was a great video Brian, and the results were tremendous. I am envious of anyone who can do work like this.

Don & Steve:
Fantastic job on the videos as usual.
I always look forward to seeing your videos.
Well done!
