Fantastic! Mostly you hear this tune on the accordian or the fiddle. However, the swedish tunes sound equally great on the mandolin. Good job! Greatings from Sweden!
@BulowWilliam Thanks for the kind remarks. I had not looked at this video for a while and now see it is a bit rough but it is indeed a great song to play. Thanks for the visit!
Pretty cool! I really like polkas and other folk dances! They sound good on the mandolin -- I guess that's not too surprising because a lot of polka bands carry a tenor banjo -- anyway this is a great tune. But you can't beat those northern folks for a polka eh?
Man, I wish I could play the mandolin like this....great job again. :) Guess I'll just settle for my uke, hehe. You got a great collection of t-shirts, btw.
@isabellanakahara Hi thanks for stopping by and thanks for the nice words. Thanks for the comment on the F-2 as well. I feel lucky to have found such an old gem so well preserved. It is indeed a pleasure to play and its hard to beat the sound of those old Gibson oval hole mandolin for this kind of music. Of course by violin standards it is young. (<:
@Mandolin1944 - Hey my dad had (unfortunately, "had"-it was stolen) an old oval hole Martin Mandolin probably from the 40's ? or 50's?... It was a really neat mandolin. Yours has that really rich, deep mellow sound that I just love.
@isabellanakahara I hate to hear about vintage instruments being stolen. Those old Martin mandolins were nice for some kinds of music --they were flat tops instead of arched. They have a lot of sustain so they are ideal for "sing along" instruments.
@PhilFeedback Thanks a lot! Something about those polkas and waltzes that make them fun to play -- I had not played that one in a long time -- pretty rusty on it.
Hi my friend,it was very nice to hear tis one on mandolin.They used to play tis Calle(Carl)Jularbo tune on the radio very very often when I was a child:-).You are right these accordion tunes use be in 3 part.Well done******
@berrasvideo Thanks so much Bertil! I appreciate the comment and the compliment -- it means a lot from a great guitar player like you are. I had not played the Livet tune for a couple of years so I was pretty "rusty" on it.
But I had no idea it was obviously such a popular dance tune -- many accordion players have posted it on YouTube. I was surprised to see that after I up loaded my version!
Hello there! Thanks for your interest in Scandinavian music. Many finn people immigrated from Finland and worked in the big forests in middle of Sweden and they had a speciell lifestile and liked Carl Jularbo music so he made a waltz. Thats what the Life in the Finnskogarna is al about. He tryed to describe the people, forest ,lakes in music. Thanks Ulf o Roland
@dag3890 Thanks so much for the comment and the good information. We have visited all of the Northern European countries including Scandinavia for business and vacation many times when we were young and working. You live in a lovely part of the world! I play to post a few more of these waltz and polkas soon.
@5041carol Thanks much Carol! Hey being originally from Minnesota I would imagine you have heard your share of polkas, schottisches, and waltzes -- one of these days I'm going to post the Jenny Lind polka -- I really like playing it.
@5041carol The "Jenny Lind" polka was written to honor the (Ms. Lind -- aka the Swedish nightingale) who toured the USA under the sponsorship of JP Barnum in the 1800's. It has four parts. In the USA we use the A and B part for the "Heel and Toe" polka. IMO the song predates and has no relation to the fiddle tune Jenny Lin -- though some have claimed there is. BTW history seems to indicate that Ms. Jenny Lind was a wonderful human being who gave most of her wealth from singing to the poor.
@cadjunk Thank you so much for listening Gwen and also for the nice comment. I agree -- the tune especially the b-part does indeed remind one of Mockingbird song. If fact I think that is what attracted me to the song in the first place.
