I think that sounded pretty damn nice! I love the voice of both singers!

That guy is a pretty good singer, hes that that 'touch' for that style

had a bassline in my head for the thing

clearly should have recruited me

we got a pretty good bass player now. upright bass ofc.

Fantastic. Very refreshing.

Wtf is this music? If you played that shit around here they'd laugh you off the stage.

get the fuck out.
Well I'm glad to hear this dude has absolutely no taste in music and just calls everyone shitty and its not just me lol


This is awesome stuff dude. I have a mandolin as well passed down to me from my mom, she used it in the 70s traveling around the US with a group of ppl and played with them.

I love this style of stuff, awesome mandolin solo too.

I enjoyed this very much

um. i heard your demo and didnt reply because i didnt want to offend you. we sell out venues in several states, have played NYC for more money than ive ever made in a whole month, are playing in london in september (hopefully). what've you done again? where do you live? we have possibly played there.

thanks weasle. id like to hear your fiddlin sometime, see your in SC, the fiddle style i have been learning is from that area (appalachian string band music aka old time).

edit: the video has nothing to do with appalachian stringband music.

Ya I'm actually working on something with that style.

Some of that southern fiddle style stuff is what came to me first. I just need to get better at playing fast and switching strings and stuff. I'm also not too great at hitting notes accurately on it since it has no frets and everything I've played previously did.

Ive captured that sort of sound on the mandolin pretty well alrdy though. I've had this mandolin longer than the fiddle.

But if you want to hear it, this is the only song i have of it right now

Its pretty sloppily made I know but I'm remaking the song right now.

There is a fiddle solo in the middle so thats probobly the best part to hear for it.
