Mando Hangout Top 20 Songs

Had fun recoding this. This is my version of a popular old fiddle tune. Hope you enjoy.

Yes, the classic sea song you've heard before. I worked up this arrangement for the Russian-American-British sea shanty group I've been playing with. Though I can barely manage 3-finger chords in a couple of keys, I've been adding mandolin to some of our tunes. In this case the bluegrass chop of my F-hole F-style really adds some nice rollicking energy. I think.

Beautiful old traditional fiddle tune played on my 1918 A4

A three-part ragtime tune that I wrote in 1968. Analog recording 1997.

Solo mandolin attempt at Julianne Johnson on a Gretsch New Yorker Supreme.

Eastman 150 and guitar both played by me and recorded on iPad and mixed with audacity. Just having fun.

Mandolin and guitar. A second guigtar enters halfway through the song.

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 song was written for my wife. Our daughter, Jordan, played the piano on the "vox" intro with me playing harmony on the mandolin. I played lead and harmony mandolins. Polly Launay played violin and Matt Ludwig played the piano.
