A friend of mine (RachelDB) playing my latest build. This is Old Dangerfield played on a sitka topped f-style mandolin I finished building two weeks ago.

My attempt at Temperance Reel.

Hope you enjoy...

This is a studio demo recording that we did several years ago (2008?). After a period of several years of not playing we have gotten back together. I was digging around and found this. Kind of forgot we did a few tunes in the studio. The band name is 36 Degrees North (the latitude we live on...). I play mandolin in this group.

Hope you enjoy it.

Melanie Bodenhamer Bass, harmony vocals

This is a recording I made of the Bluegrass Gentlemen performing an original song written by Jackie Wooten called "Your Memory". Jeff Barnett on Guitar, Jackie Wooten on Bass, David Church on Banjo and Brian Baker on Mandolin. Jackie and David are old school Bluegrass pickers who played with the Skyline Bluegrass Express Band on the Grand Ole Opry with Bill Monroe.

This is my attempt at a favorite John Hartford tune. Since I can't sing worth a darn I did it as an instrumental (which is fairly common). I play mandolin and resonator guitar on the recording. The Band in A Box RealTracks band helped me out on guitar rhythm and bass.

I have a new recording interface and software and I am still learning so the recording quality is so-so. Hope y'all enjoy my attempt at it.

As many of you know, Kelly Lancaster passed away last week. I had the privilege of doing some recording with Kelly. This is one of my favorites. It's a song off a demo we shopped around for gigging purposes. Bobby Nichols on guitar, me on bass and Kelly on mandolin. I thought some of y'all would get a kick out of Kellys break. It is Kelly at his best in my view. Absolutely awesome. I distinctly remember looking at Bobby when Kelly did this track and we couldn't wipe the grin off our faces!
