Consider the mandolin (Shippensport)


Listen Later

Have you thought about playing the mandolin? You could do worse. Welcome back to our regularly scheduled episodes, featuring a bunch of Old-Time tunes for the rest of June and July. We get caught up and talk about the mandolin. You may already know this, but the mandolin is tuned the same as a fiddle. Interesting!

This week the tune is Shippensport, a G major reel based on West Virginia fiddler Burl Hammond's playing.  This tune is very fun to play!

Thanks for listening!
