The Star Above the Garter is a lovely old slide that I decided to give a go on my mandola. I discovered if I slow this tune down I am able to better appreciate the melody, so this version is slower than I'd typically play a slide. Hope you like it!

"The ukulele had this advantage: not even a trained musician could tell if you were really playing it or just monkeying around." -Will Rogers

Here's a new old-timey tune that I picked up at a jam session in Salt Lake City last month. It was composed by local multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Melissa Chilinksi.

Bluemont Waltz

A friend of mine sent me this lovely waltz to check out (composed by Rodney Miller) in the hopes that I might try recording a version of it. Here's what I threw together the other day using a guitar, mandolin, and concertina. Enjoy! youtu.be/BwPyFRNG414
