Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life/work has been busy (in a good way). I’m hoping to get back to playing some tunes for you really soon!

Life’s been getting in the way, so no new videos for a bit. Here’s a video of “Duck River” from David Benedict‘s Fiddle Tune February last year. Seriously check him out if you’re learning mandolin- his patreon is a wealth of information!

No videos this weekend… overwhelmed with work and haven’t learned any new songs.

I didn’t have time to shoot new content this week, so let’s revisit Tam Lin for #MandolinMonday

Metronome? What’s that??

Barebones attempt at “Scarborough Faire”. I would love to add some flourishes on this one.

I’ve been working on my violining. Part of getting better and developing my ear is realizing how much I need to dial in my intonation. At least I have lots of room to grow.

#MandolinMonday with Priest’s Leap

Seems relevant to share this #FolkloreFriday again.
The Werewolf trials of Bedburg amply demonstrate abuses of power, unjust persecution, and gaslighting to fit a false narrative.

Remember, if you know a werewolf, no you f*cking don’t.

The banjo learning continues!
“Cold Frosty Morning”

#MandolinMonday with “Breeches Mary”

I’d love to work on this one a little more to add some ornamentation.

Here’s a little excerpt from last week’s #MandolinMonday

I found a different arrangement for “Whiskey Before Breakfast” and attempted to sight read it

Happy #MandolinMonday !!

I’m working on “Salt Creek” by a warm hearth 🔥

Love it! Thank you for sharing!

Sorry for the lack of video this week! Things always get a bit hectic around this time of year.

Christmas cards, created by the de la Rue Company for the Natural Museum of London, 1875-1885. Ideal impression of a future creation discovered by Professors Ichthyosaurus, Megalosaurus, & Co

“A rink in the Glacial Period.”

“Study of the Mammoth and Dinotherium”

Merry Christmas 🎄✨

I need to learn some new songs, in the interim, here’s a throwback to warmer months with “Atoll Highlander”

A wintery #MandolinMonday with “the Black Nag”

Thank you!

A belated #MandolinMonday with “the Musical Priest” (one of my new favorite tunes).

May your week be delightful!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the banjo is the hardest instrument I’ve tried to learn. Thank you kindly to @/jacktellmusic for putting up with my butchering of your favorite songs.
Here’s a rough and slow attempt at “Blackberry Blossom”

One of the first tunes I learned on cello- now on violin! Morrison’s Jig

Happy #MandolinMonday with an attempt at “Cara Mia Adio”

Sorry for the belated #MandolinMonday
Things have been chaotic so I’m resharing this reel of Swallowtail Jig (one of my absolute favorite tunes)
#folkmusic #mandolin #bard #tiefling #jig #irishjig

It’s an octave mandolin. Like a regular mandolin, but an octave lower!

#MandolinMonday

Who knows what I’m playing? Because I don’t. I must have flipped to some song I’ve never played before and tried to sight read it…. But didn’t make a note of what it was. Oops

#mandolin #bard #tiefling

I haven’t had a chance to learn some new songs/record video, so here’s a noodle session from last year’s Dragon Days

More fiddle fun with one of my favorite slipjigs, “the Butterfly”

I love how the photo editor always tries to correct my skin tone to peach - to disastrous results (this is after tweaking it- and my skin is still blown out 😂)
