This ain't fair!

This kid has some great talent and he got the opportunity to play alongside Sierra Hull! I'll admit it... I'm a little jealous.

Check this out!

Earlier I did a post on a mandolin quartet... Well, how about a whole mandolin Orchestra! You'll recognize the tune played if you've seen the movie "Bridge On The River Kwai".



Oh, did I mention these guys are from Oregon?... GO DUCKS!

This is pretty neat...

This guy and his friends do several videos like this one, using old machinery for rhythm. This one is my favorite. It's a Resonator Mandolin and a Harmonica jamming to the beat of an old Steamboat engine! Really neat and innovative!



Cool Huh?

Happy B'day Beth Anne!

My sister's 14th birthday is today! Beth Anne's favorite music is by Keith and Kristyn Getty, so I recorded this for her. Happy birthday Beth Anne!

Tunes To Learn

I've added a new link to the link buttons above.

"Tunes To Learn"

This link will take you to a list of tunes that I think everyone who plays the mandolin should learn. If you think of any songs that I should add, please leave me a comment telling me the song you want. If I don't know the song, I will be glad to learn it and post it on the list!

Thanks,
Chris
