#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

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”

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
