I’ve been a bit too busy to write, the wife’s been sick and I’ve been trying to hold down the fort.

I’ll write again soon.

A little more mandolin love…

I hate to say it, but it’s becoming more fun to play around with than the banjo…

Metsäkukkia

I’ve had a couple of people ask me to show them the mandolin, so I uploaded me playing a song I started learning two days ago called Metsäkukkia. It’s a finnish folk song, a waltz. I’m not fast enough for the second part yet (although I’m a little faster that recorded…I always make more mistakes when a camera is on).

Carries control, phase one.

I’m sitting here with a hole in my mouth where a molar used to be, and waiting for the codeine to kick in.

Hope you’re having a good day.
