My Friend, Andy wrote and recorded a bluegrass tune and asked that I play a mando and fiddle track for it. Well, here she goes!!!...

This is why I'm embarrassed to put mandolin on my tunes.     Very cool!   Cool guitar riffs!

I'm the one who is embarrassed. I had only been playing mando for two weeks.

Frank, 
Thanks!

Who-weeee, hang on to your hats for this one.  You must be kidding --- only playing the mandolin for two weeks?  That much talent in one place is just not fair.  I'm loving that stand-up, slap-belly, double bass.
Excellent pickin' Scotty!!!

Hi Freddy,
Yep, only two weeks but its kind of half fiddle and half guitar so it was fairly easy for me to find the notes on. It's the picking part that takes the most effort for me. Yeah, that stand up bass is cool for sure! Thanks for listening!

Now this is why I love you :-)

I like this Scotty. I wish I had the equipment to make such a great sounding production like you always seem to do. 

I had to sell my Mandolin a few years ago, but it really was no lose because I never really played it, I liked the idea of it. 

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't the Mandolin on it's basic tuning the same as a fiddle? That's what the book said either way. 

You sounded great on it whatever the case. When I think of the Mandolin I think of some really old great bluegrass song I heard as a kid. I never really learned nothing on it except a few tunes, I sure wish I would have kept it. 

BTW: The fiddle playing was AWESOME as always!! Great tune man!!

Sounds great Scotty , you have many talents ! Last time I was at our local music store I was looking at all the voilins they had hanging on the wall for sale and man they are expensive to buy and the strings cost an arm and a leg to buy too $200.00 for a set of four strings WOW !
