Bluegrass in the Backwoods

Hey guys! I learned one of Vivaldi’s mandolin pieces! Except it was written by Kenny Baker… also the last thing I played before permanently switching to non standard pitch on this mando, currently running about 434ish, and decreasing. Just about a month more before I get my mandolin back… sigh

I think with you it is similar to Obelix and the magic potion … Only that you have an amazing musical talent! :smile: really very good!

Consider wearing one of those 18th century wigs next time you play that
Nice work

You certainly do it justice! Well played, lad!
