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.

Just a little solo mandolin holiday cheer.

In the minor strain....

Mando tune

I want to be loved... That's what I tell in this song...

My arrangement of the classic. I've heard the lyrics were Foster's. I can't confirm it. I learned them from a musician named Steve Seal who played with Ace Weems' Fat Meat Boys. Steve played bass for my group as well as fiddle and banjo.

This is a slow air with myself on mandolin and a good friend on guitar.

This is a tune I first heard played by Wayne Harrell (a mandolin player from Lawerceburg TN). He learned it from the Portland Collection Book Vol. 1 and I think it is a French Canadian tune. I like it and it has become a standard in our jam session. I recorded it with just four mandolin parts, a chop, lead and two harmony parts. Hope you enjoy it.
