Re: What's your new fiddle tune?
That’s a great tune and really nicely played, thanks Mike.
Re: What's your new fiddle tune?
You’re welcome, of course. Be sure to listen to the Montana Mandolin Society do their take on it.

Re: What's your new fiddle tune?
I bought the Eastman MDO-3xx a-model. Can't quite recall the last digits of the OM; however. It's fun!

Re: What's your new fiddle tune?
That's it! I got it originally when they first came out. At that time I was building a duet repertoire with a guitar player and I was focused on my mandolin. Now with COVID, not doing that! So, I tuned it up and walk about the yard playing my tunes. I'm having a few struggles and a few successes. Just challenging my brain and my fingers!
Really enjoying the sound; however. And, it's good for technique to wrangle such a beast!

Spending time learning and relearning a few rags. Once you learn one, it gets easier to learn many others.

Enjoy, and Happy Christmas!

Re: What's your new fiddle tune?
Working on Devaney's Goat. Dave Surette uses some triplets in unexpected places which at 180 bpm is a challenge for me. So the last week has devolved to triplet practice, which I need.
We few, we happy few.
