No worries.  I'm slow too.  We're trying out new drummers and it's taking forever.  Spent all day today messing with that.  I promise though -  I'll post this soon!

 :deer :deerRoland White has a book of Christmas Songs for Mandolin :deer :deer

When I play a song by ear, I swear I can fit almost any song into a few very simple chords....

I love instruction however to confirm, do I hear this correctly? Am I on the right note.
Or gee I got that wrong.

Madolin Cafe is a cool site where I just discovered they work on songs collectively on their forum. How flippin fun is that.

I have to get in on that. Roland White, a very good mentor and a very gentle teacher.

Hi guys,
I have been busy practicing again, I took a month off and man my fingers hurt again. I decided since everyone else was learning Soldiers Joy to start that one also. Only 6 months until jamming in TP, I gotta get busy. Any other song recommendations?
Hopefully if all works out I will see you in Telluride.

Hey, Happy New Year!     Wave   Cheers

I haven't checked in awhile, and LandShark has a new tune up!  and an original at that!   Very cool, i'm waiting for the updated version.

The only critique i have is that we can't see you!  it's like you're in the witness protection program.   Turn the spotlight on!  LOL

OK uploading as we speak this was huge fun and I left a few mistakes in there as you will see. I love music and really am havin fun with my mandolin. Workin on delivery and tone. I seem to compete with my mandolin at times. Anyway, thank you all for helping me to grow and share. Big fun and do not be afraid to add your comments. I love to write and some of the best songs are simply said. This song is safe to share for me, simple and sweet.

You are very funny, made me laugh. My playing and singin were off. I know I can sound better. So yeah, thanks yer right, somethins not right Flower
How is Janet doing?

Janet's good.   she's getting better on the mando all the time.   we had some people over and she got a chance to play with someone besides me - she loved it.   she seems to have a knack - good timing and tone and a good ear.   and it's pushing me to learn too.


(now where's that new upload - i don't see it yet?)

Nice Job Miki!   Clap Clap Clap

Your vocals are up front more in this version.    (That's something you were working to improve right?)

I can hear the words clearer now - which is something I always listen for in a song.

Is it "pigtails and a tan"?    love it!
